Abstract
⺠Plasmodium knowlesi was fully recognized as a new species in 1932. ⺠The first natural human infection was observed in 1965. ⺠In 2004, Balbir Singh and co-workers identified a large human focus of knowlesi malaria in Malaysian Borneo. ⺠The definite diagnosis of this infection can only be achieved through molecular methods. ⺠Plasmodium knowlesi malaria is observed across the Southeast Asia and can be life-threatening.
