Diagnosis was confirmed by PCR with validated species-specific primers. In industrialized countries, free-ranging primates are a potential source of P. knowlesi human infection. P. knowlesi infection is a differential diagnosis of febrile illness acquired in Singapore. | Source Title: | Emerging Infectious Diseases | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/181027 | ISSN: | 1080-6040 | DOI: | 10.3201/eid1405.070863 | Rights: | Attribution 4.0 International |
