Emerging malaria in Indonesia: An overview of Plasmodium knowlesi infections
Two major Indonesian islands of Sumatra and Kalimantan, which reported malaria cases during the period studied, exhibit a potential risk for <i>P. knowlesi</i> infections that is influenced by factors beyond natural hosts and vectors, such as sex, age, and occupation. Routine PCR examinations for suspected <i>P. knowlesi</i> infections are crucial for developing effective strategies to identify and control this simian malaria parasite.
