   [Preprint] Co-infection of <em>Plasmodium knowlesi</em> and <em>Plasmodium vivax</em>: a rare clinical encounter in a traveller returning to Switzerland

   Relevance:

   Malaria caused by Plasmodium knowlesi presents a notable diagnostic hurdle due to its shared morphological similarities with other Plasmodium species, complicating identification. The diagnosis can further

   Very high carriage of gametocytes in asymptomatic low-density <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> and <em>P. vivax</em> infections in western Thailand

   Relevance:

   Plasmodium spp. are common in low endemicity areas worldwide, but outside Africa, their contribution to malaria transmission is poorly understood. Community-based studies with highly sensitive molecular diagnostics [...] gametocytes indicates that these infections may contribute substantially to the maintenance of local malaria transmission.

   qRT-PCR versus IFA-based quantification of male and female gametocytes in low-density <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> infections and their relevance for transmission

   Relevance:

   Accurate quantification of female and male gametocytes and sex ratios in asymptomatic low-density malaria infections are important for assessing their transmission potential. Gametocytes often escape detection [...] negligible for human-to-mosquito transmission.Estimating the transmission potential of ultralow-density malaria infections informs interventions.
