A. Peripheral blood smear of a 25-year-old soldier on March 23, 2023, during the first hospitalization. The smear shows low parasitemia with one infected red blood cell per 100 high-power fields, along with a single “banana-shaped” gametocyte. B. Peripheral blood smear from the same soldier on May 8, 2023, during the second hospitalization. The smear reveals numerous non-P. falciparum gametocytes, indicating a symptomatic P. ovale infection. C. Phylogenetic tree based on the partial 18S rRNA sequence (875 bp) of Plasmodium species. The tree was constructed using the CLUSTAL X software (http://www.clustal.org/clustal2/) with the neighbor-joining method and 1000 bootstrap replicates.
