Molecular basis for human infection risk investigation and vaccine application in monkey malaria-endemic areas in Thailand
Objectives
*Original title and text were machine translated from Japanese.
This research project aims to clarify one of the important questions in the biology of infectious diseases, “the mechanism by which the host does not become ill even if the pathogen infects,” by conducting a field survey in a highly endemic area of monkey malaria in Thailand and comparing the results with infection experiments.
By clarifying whether human infection with monkey malaria is “a good neighbor or a bad neighbor for humans,” there will be an attempt to gather molecular-based information that will contribute to the development of a malaria vaccine.
