There has been a recent revival in attempts to understand changes in patterns of abundance of Plasmodium spp. that infect humans. This has been driven by the purportedly beneficial effects of co-infection on clinical pathology and the recognition of Plasmodium vivax as a public health problem in its own right. In contrast to the attention given to mixed-species infections in humans, parasite infections and interactions within the mosquito vector remain poorly documented, even though the distribution of vector-borne parasites such as Plasmodium spp. depends on vector-vertebrate and, crucially, vector-parasite interactions. To understand malaria epidemiology and to design appropriate control measures, this gap must be re-addressed.
最近，人们再次尝试了解感染人类的疟原虫种类丰度模式的变化。这是由共感染对临床病理学的所谓有益影响以及将间日疟原虫本身视为公共卫生问题所推动的。与对人类混合物种感染的关注形成对比的是，尽管诸如疟原虫属等媒介传播寄生虫的分布取决于媒介与脊椎动物的相互作用，至关重要的是还取决于媒介与寄生虫的相互作用，但关于蚊媒体内寄生虫感染和相互作用的记录仍然很少。为了理解疟疾流行病学并设计适当的控制措施，必须重新解决这一差距。
