Editor’s summary
Plasmodium knowlesi is the most common cause of malaria admissions to Kudat District Hospital, Sabah. The wide age distribution and presence of family clusters suggest that transmission may be occurring close to or inside people?s homes, in contrast to previous reports from densely forested areas of Sarawak. These findings have significant implications for malaria control.
