Figure Lengend Snippet: Fluorescence observed in the PK-FISH assay with the P. knowlesi -specific probe ( green ), the Plasmodium genus-specific probe ( orange ) and the Babesia genus-specific probe ( green ) in specificity control blood smears prepared from hamster blood infected with B. duncani . Two smears (Smear 1 and Smear 2) were made with the same B. duncani -infected hamster blood (ATCC PRA-302). Smear 1 was tested in the PK- FISH Assay and Smear 2 was tested in a Babesia genus-specific FISH assay. The results viewed at ×1000 magnification show a absence of a reaction in the PK-FISH assay with the P. knowlesi -specific probe on Smear 1, b absence of a reaction in the PK-FISH assay in the same microscope field with the Plasmodium genus-specific probe on Smear 1, and c reaction with the Babesia genus-specific FISH probe on Smear 2.
