Comment
Major cause of malaria outside Africa, mainly afflicting Asia and the Americas.
Only capable of infecting reticulocytes, causing severe anaemia by dyserythropoiesis and destruction of infected and uninfected erythrocytes despite much lower parasitaemias.
Incapable of infecting Duffy-blood-group-negative reticulocytes.
Isolated from a patient from El Salvador.
