snoop1130 Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Thailand’s Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation is to distribute mosquito protection suits to park rangers to protect them from mosquito bites, and especially from Plasmodium knowlesi malaria. Park rangers working on Chang Island in Trat province will be the first to receive the suits, because several cases of Plasmodium knowlesi malaria have been found on the island, said Patarapol Maneeorn, a veterinarian attached to the department. He explained that Plasmodium knowlesi parasites are found in wild monkeys and, when a striped mosquito bites the monkey and then a human, the parasites are transferred to the human and cause malaria.
