Thailand network reported that on May 3, according to Thai media news, the Thai Department for Disease Control and Prevention reminded people to pay attention to the prevention of diseases caused by The Notre's Malaria Parasite, a primate malaria parasite commonly found in Southeast Asia. It can cause malaria in macaques, and if a mosquito bites a macaque that carries a disease and bites a human, it can be transmitted to humans. There is currently no evidence that mosquitoes as a vector transmits Plasmodium Nordsonites from person to person.
It is reported that Thailand first found someone infected with Plasmodium Nodlis in 2004, and then an average of about 10 people were found to be infected every year, but from October 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022, 70 people have been found to be infected with Plasmodium Nodella, and the top 3 provinces with the most patients found are Ranong, Songkhla and Trat Province. In view of this, people who have been exposed to macaques in the wild in the above areas and have suspicious symptoms such as chills and shivers, high fever, headaches, and sweating should seek medical attention immediately.
