No evidence monkey malaria is adapting to spread between humans, says new study


KOTA KINABALU: The “monkey malaria” is not adapting to spread between humans yet but there are challenges in preventing its spread due to the wide availability of animal hosts in the country, says a new study.

This is observed in a study report published by researchers from Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS), the Health Ministry, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, the National University of Singapore and Imperial College London.
