Plasmodium falciparum isn't the only culprit of malaria. Plasmodium knowlesi can also infect humans, particularly in SE Asia. This review tells you all you need to know about this apicomplexan parasite, from clinical features to who's most at risk:

Hector was a joy to know, and will be hugely missed in our community. The gofundme appeal raised so much so quickly because everyone felt the same way. So very sorry for his family.
We are so sorry to hear that Dr Hector Díaz Albiter has passed away. We send deepest condolences to his family and friends and all who knew him. Messages, stories and photos can be posted on this page for his family: forevermissed.com/hector-dia…

'We need R&D and innovation for new diagnostics & treatments. We will not reach the targets with the tools we have now. Take #riverblindness: it's hard to believe that we still don't have a drug to kill the adult parasites.'

Thank you Stephen for your wise steering of Parasitology.
3 Jul 2020
Prof. Phillips' knowledge of parasites is both deep & broad; his insights have led to exciting initiatives. His time with Parasitology has been marked by kindness, especially towards ECRs. Stephen's generosity with his time has benefited all who have worked with him immensely.

In #malaria patients, how recently have parasites reinvaded red cells? Are they all the same age? It matters as ACT clearance is affected by parasite age.
Happy to share our paper @ciuffreda_laura @LisaR_C @IBAHCM & Ghana colleagues @NMIMR_UG
