Addressing the threat of emerging zoonotic malaria in our region
Purpose:
The monkey malaria parasite P. knowlesi (Pk) increasingly infects humans across Southeast Asia. A multidisciplinary approach will evaluate why Pk cases are rising, improve laboratory detection methods, assess preventative treatments, and inform public health programs. Pk genetic analyses will explore causes of severe disease and geographical infection patterns. Evaluating human interaction with mosquitos, monkeys, and land-use, will generate regional Pk risk prediction maps for targeted control.
