Topic of research
To identify P. vivax proteins to be used as antigens to screen for recent parasite infection, over 1,000 P. vivax proteins, produced by Proteo-Science Center will be screened against human plasma from malaria subjects in Thailand. This will result in development of a novel serological assay to identify P. vivax transmission 'hot-spots' among populations.
Outcome
New surveillance tool to monitor malaria transmission or re-introduction after malaria elimination in the region
