Self-guided tour to National Park or eco-tourism areas in Borneo

Outline

The symposium was held in University of Maysia Sarawak. Prof.Balbir Singh, who is a famous researcher of P. knowlesi with his wife, gave a lecture on Plasmodium knowlesi. Aims visiting Sarawak was to know his works and methods, activities of UNIMAS on zoonoses as well as to visit research site of Dr. Masuda.

Prof. Singh told that he finished the study of P. knowlesi infecting human. He studied monkey infection and change subject from host infection parasites to mosquito infection parasites. Researchers and students devoted themselves more intensively to zooneses than Japanese because zoonses occur frequently. The symposium was stimulating and fruitful to us.

They welcomed proposals of collaboration from oversea researchers.

Oil-palm plantation was looked a factory. Small plots for villagers were seldom to be seen in villages.
