Dual species infection


In short, mixed-species malaria infections occur, but may go unrecognised. Their precise frequency will vary according to the case-mix in the area concerned. They may only be detected during convalescence.

In endemic areas where multiple malarial species circulate estimates of prevalence may be as high as 30%, but in other areas this is far lower and would often be regarded as forming fewer than 5% of infections.
