Thé presence of mature trophozoites and a schizont in picture one combined with the absence of ring forms help us eliminate P. falciparum. The only band form help narrowing our choice to P. malariae. There does not appear to be any primate involvement nor arboreal canopy activity, so a diagnosis of P. knowlesi is unlikely.<br />Florida FanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
