Outline

We brought results, data and findings to researchers in different disciples, and made clear on which subjects we should concentrated our efforts, that was, standard methods to detect and decide monkey malaria parasite species, catching resting mosquitoes after sacking blood, how transmission occurred in forest areas, how deforestation affected malaria transmission and how to control monkey malaria.

After the symposium we visited Khanh Phu Malaria Station and the research sites.
