<unk>  is primarily concentrated in sub-Saharan Africa and islands in the western Pacific. However<unk>  has also been reported in the Philippines, eastern Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea, as well as Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam In several studies, the reported prevalence of<unk>  was low relative to other malaria parasites, with fewer than 5% of malaria cases being associated with<unk>  infection. Higher prevalences of<unk>  are possible under certain conditions, as at least one study in Cameroon found the prevalence of<unk>  infection to be greater than 10%. It has been estimated that there are about 15 million cases of infection each year with this parasite. While similar to P. vivax,<unk>  is able to infect individuals who are negative for the Duffy blood group, which is the case for many residents of sub Saharan Africa. This explains the greater prevalence of<unk>  (rather than P. vivax) in most of Africa.
