Plasmodium cynomolgi

Species ID:	107
Name:	Plasmodium cynomolgi
Associated with:	2 targets
	8 ligands

Description
P. cynomolgi (Pc) is a malaria parasite that infects non-human primate species with the natural mammalian host being Asian Old World monkeys. Pc is used as a model for human P. vivax infection because these species are phylogenetically close and share a similar lifecycle, including the dormant liver form (hypnozoite).
