Fluorescence observed in the PK-FISH assay with the P. knowlesi-specific probe (green) and the Plasmodium genus-specific probe (orange) in blood smears containing Plasmodium spp. from monkey blood. Each set of paired photographs show the dual colour fluorescence in the same microscope field at ×1000 magnification using the two different filters. Scale-bars: 5 μm. Abbreviations: Pk, P. knowlesi; Pf, P. falciparum; Pm, P. malariae; Po, P. ovale; Pv, P. vivax
