Co-infections with<i>Plasmodium knowlesi</i>and Other Malaria Parasites, Myanmar

Abstract

To determine the frequency of co-infections with Plasmodium species in southern Myanmar, we investigated the prevalence of P. knowlesi. More than 20% of patients with malaria had P. knowlesi infection, which occurred predominantly as a co-infection with either P. falciparum or P. vivax.
