Malaria Cases in a Tertiary Hospital in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: A 16-Year (2005-2020) Retrospective Review.

While there has been a tremendous decline in malaria disease burden in the remote parts of Malaysia, little is known about malaria incidence in its urban localities.

All suspected cases presented to a university hospital in Kuala Lumpur from January 2005 to December 2020 were examined by microscopy.

Opisthorchis viverrini metacercarial infection in cyprinid fish in Nakhon Phanom Province, Northeastern Thailand.

Opisthorchiasis is endemic in parts of Southeast Asia, including the northern and northeastern regions of Thailand. In these regions, the transmission by fish intermediate hosts has received little attention. We investigated the intensity of Opisthorchis viverrini metacercariae (OV MC) in wild cyprinid fishes from five districts within the Nakhon Phanom Province, Northeast Thailand.
