Figure 3. Malaria incidences caused by the different species of Plasmodium in Selangor (2006- 2012).

Figure 3

Five different species of Plasmodium (excluding mixed cases) were identified as causes of malaria in Selangor (2006-2012). Based on the graph, from 2006 to 2012, the most common agent of malaria is P. vivax, followed by P. falciparum (with the exception of 2012, where P. knowlesi cases are second most common). More P. knowlesi cases are reported from 2008 onwards. The least common agent is P. ovale, with only one case in 2010. Mixed cases of P. vivax and P. falciparum are also noted in this graph.
