Data on prevalence of P. cynomolgi taken from references 2, 4–7 is summarized. Columns from left to right: location names country and province/state of the study, samples set describes from which population blood samples were collected, and N is number of samples tested by PCR. Diagnosis by PCR presents number of isolates found to have P. cynomolgi mono-infections or P. cynomolgi mixed infections
