| description | Plasmodium knowlesi is a malaria parasite naturally found in long-tailed and pig-tailed macaques. Recent studies in the Kapit division of Sarawak showed that there was a large focus of naturally acquired P. knowlesi infections in humans. Studies on macaques in the Kapit Division have shown that they harbour knowlesi malaria parasites and other typse of monkey ,alarias.
