Lucas Low Van Lun

Lucas Low is an entomologist at the Tropical Infectious Diseases Research and Education Centre, Universiti Malaya, Malaysia.  His current research interests include insect vectors of medical-veterinary importance such as mosquitoes, flies, ticks, fleas, lice, and mites; and their associated infectious disease agents.

As a MESA correspondent, I had the opportunity to delve deeper into the topic of Plasmodium knowlesi and its mosquito vectors. This experience allowed me to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the complexities surrounding this particular malaria parasite and its transmission dynamics.
