Spatial clustering and risk factors of malaria infections in Ratanakiri Province, Cambodia Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde Universiteit Antwerpen
BACKGROUND: Malaria incidence worldwide has steadily declined over the past decades. Consequently, increasingly more countries will proceed from control to elimination. The malaria distribution in low incidence settings appears patchy, and local transmission hotspots are a continuous source of infection. In this study, species-specific clusters and associated risk factors were identified based on malaria prevalence data collected in the ...

Monkey malaria (Plasmodium knowlesi infection) after travelling to Thailand Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
A case of malaria caused by Plasmodium knowlesi is described in a 52-year-old female German traveler after returning from Thailand. P. knowlesi is a parasite of macaques in Southeast Asia and has been recognized in recent years as an important and probably increasing cause of human malaria in some areas. At least 16 cases in international travelers have been published so far. This includes four cases imported to Germany. All German patients ...

Precarity at the margins of malaria control in the Chittagong Hill Tracts in Bangladesh: a mixed-methods study Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Bangladesh has achieved significant progress towards malaria elimination, although health service delivery for malaria remains challenging in remote forested areas such as the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT). The aim of this study was to investigate perceptions of malaria and its treatment among the local population to inform contextualized strategies for rolling out radical cure for P. vivax in Bangladesh. The study comprised two sequential ...
