Dr. Jetsumon, director of MVRU, has a presentation on Cases studies of Tropical Health, Pre-meeting course for JITMM 2018 on the topic of Challenges for Malaria elimination in GMS at Amari water gate hotel.<\/p>

This pre-meeting course is set up to update on case studies on Tropical health from each speakers including Dr. Jetsumon.<\/p>

Dr. Jetsumon presents about background of malaria disease transmission with the life cycle of Plasmodium spp. and about topics as follow<\/p>

  • Challenges for malaria elimination in GMS<\/p>

    • P. falciparum: artemismin resistance<\/li>
    • P. vivax: G6PD, hypnozoite<\/li>
    • Lmited tools for vector control and management; outdoor transmission and multiple vectors all year round, etc.<\/li>
    • No available vaccine to date<\/li>
    • Many drugs under development and not ready for routine treatment<\/li><\/ul><\/li>

    • International network: APMEN (Asia Pacific Malaria Elimination Network)<\/p>

      • Malaria-free, currently, Sri Lanka only<\/li>
      • Malaria-eliminated by 2020, Bhutan China, Malaysia, South Korea<\/li>
      • Transitioning towards malaria elimination (2025-2030), Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Phillippines, Solomon Islands, Thailand, Timor leste, Vanuatu, Vietnam<\/li>

        • Limited research on vectors and control as well as social sciences<\/li>
        • Very few in depth social science study on knowledge of malaria in population at risk and community engagement to malaria elimination<\/li>
        • How the research outcome can be used to accelerate the National Malaria Program in timely manner.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>
