Plasmodium knowlesi recognizes P. vivax promoter regions not recognized by P. falciparum. Plasmodium falciparum and P. knowlesi parasites were transformed in vitro by spontaneous DNA uptake from RBCs pre-loaded with plasmids pD-pfcam-Luc, pD-pvcam-Luc, pD-pvcrt-Luc, or pD-pvhsp70-Luc. Luciferase activity measurements were obtained after 72 h of parasite cultivation in the plasmid-loaded RBCs and were normalized relative to the activity obtained from parasites transformed with pD-pfcam-Luc. Values represent the mean ± standard error from three independent experiments
