Announcement:
International Symposium on
Forest Malaria: from Monkey to Man
After the detection of transmission of monkey malaria parasites to humans in Vietnam, the Medical Committee Netherlands-Vietnam (MCNV) has cooperated with The Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) and Research Institute for Humanity and Nature of Japan (RIHN) to organize an International Symposium on "Forest Malaria: from Monkey to Man". This Symposium offers a forum for the exchange of study results between researchers inside and outside Vietnam in the field of malaria epidemiology, mosquitoes and environmental factors related to the infection of monkey malaria parasites in humans. This will potentially lead to new and productive collaborative work between these disciplines in the future. The Symposium will be held in Nha Trang City from 6th to 7th March 2012.
The organizers would like to invite the scientists enthusiastically to participate and contribute valuable ideas to the activity.
On behalf of organizers
Ron P. Marchand, MD.
