Article Synopsis
- Current malaria elimination strategies overlook the role of non-human primates (NHPs) in spreading Plasmodium vivax, which is less responsive to control methods.* -
- Blood samples from free-living and captive Neotropical monkeys revealed a 4.4% infection rate of P. vivax, indicating that these animals can harbor the pathogen.* -
- The findings highlight the need to understand how NHP infections could sustain malaria transmission in humans, suggesting that wildlife management should be included in malaria elimination plans.*
