Orangutans not Infected with Plasmodium vivax or P. cynomolgi, Indonesia
After orangutans in Indonesia were reported as infected with Plasmodium cynomolgi and P. vivax, we conducted phylogenetic analyses of small subunit ribosomal RNA gene sequences of Plasmodium spp. We found that these orangutans are not hosts of P. cynomolgi and P. vivax. Analysis of >1 genes...

| Summary: | After orangutans in Indonesia were reported as infected
with Plasmodium cynomolgi and P. vivax, we conducted
phylogenetic analyses of small subunit ribosomal RNA gene
sequences of Plasmodium spp. We found that these orangutans
are not hosts of P. cynomolgi and P. vivax. Analysis
of >1 genes is needed to identify Plasmodium spp. infecting
orangutans. |
