\nMy current research aims to study the genetic diversity of Plasmodium knowlesi parasite found in 2 regions of Thailand. And I'm also interested to study on mosquito physiology and finding molecular marker which related to mosquito blood-feeding behavior. Understanding of those might lead us to understand more about disease transmission in the endemic area during the malaria intervention.\n
