AB Six  species  of  blood  protozoan  parasites  cause  human  malaria  (Chap.  248):  the  potentially  lethal  and  often  drug-resistant  Plasmodium  falciparum;  the  relapsing  parasites  Plasmodium  vivax  and  Plasmodium  ovale  (with  what  appear  to  be  two  morphologically  identical  sympatric  species  of  P.  ovale);  Plasmodium  malariae,  which  can  persist  at  low  densities  for  years;  and,  in  infections  in  individuals  living  in  or  close  to  tropical  forests  in  Southeast  Asia,  Plasmodium  knowlesi,  a  monkey  parasite  that  microscopically  resembles  P.  falciparum  (young  forms)  and  P.  malariae  (older  forms)  but  is  identified  definitively  by  molecular  methods.
