Plasmodium ovale curtisi is a subspecies of parasitic protozoa that causes tertian malaria in humans. The subspecies was described in 2010 when it was established that the two subspecies of Plasmodium ovale, while morphologically identical are genetically distinct.[1]
Phylogenetics
This species separated from its closest known relative, Plasmodium ovale wallikeri, between 1.0 and 3.5 million years ago.
Infection
The geographical distribution of P. ovale spp- (1)Plasmodium ovale curtisi[2]
Clinical features for P. ovale curtisi cause tertian fever which spikes approximately every 49 hours as newly replicated parasites erupt out of red blood cells. [3]
Epidemiology
P. ovale curtisi has been identified in Ghana, Myanmar, Nigeria, São Tomé, Sierra Leone and Uganda.
