First report of a Plasmodium malariae SSU rRNA gene variant in Africa associated with reduced amplification by nested PCR

These findings underscore the need for continued molecular surveillance and sequence-based validation to ensure accurate diagnosis of Plasmodium infections, particularly in regions where genetic variants and zoonotic strains are emerging.
