After orangutans in Indonesia were reported as infected with Plasmodium cynomolgi and P. vivax, we conducted phylogenetic analyses of small subunit ribosomal RNA gene sequences of Plasmodium spp. We found that these orangutans are not hosts of P. cynomolgi and P. vivax. Analysis of >or=1 genes is needed to identify Plasmodium spp. infecting orangutans.
在印度尼西亚的猩猩被报告感染疟原虫后,我们对疟原虫 spp. 的小亚基核糖体 RNA 基因序列进行了系统发育分析。我们发现这些猩猩不是疟原虫和疟原虫的宿主。需要分析 >or=1 个基因来鉴定感染猩猩的疟原虫。
