APMEN TechTalks webinar: How concerned should we be about simian malaria?
The Asia Pacific Malaria Elimination Network (APMEN) Vector Control Working Group is happy to invite you to their next TechTalk webinar on “How concerned should we be about simian malaria?“.
The elimination of Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax does not mean the end of malaria in South-East Asia. Hundreds of cases of non-human primate malaria are diagnosed each year in some countries, caused mainly by Plasmodium knowlesi but also others such as P. cynomolgi, P. inui, P. coatneyi and others. These infections cloud the issue of countries being registered by WHO as having reached malaria elimination, and pose a risk of sustained and pernicious malaria infection. Join in listening to this fascinating topic by experts on the subject.
