  • Title: Forest malaria in central Vietnam.
    Author: Sanh NH, Van Dung N, Thanh NX, Trung TN, Van Co T, Cooper RD.
    Journal: Am J Trop Med Hyg; 2008 Nov; 79(5):652-4. PubMed ID: 18981498.
    Abstract:
    Studies were conducted in a village in central Vietnam to explain the existence of a forest malaria cycle of transmission external to the village. The findings suggested no malaria transmission in the village because of the absence of a suitable vector, but suggested evidence for transmission in villagers when attending garden plots in the forested hills surrounding the village. A sizeable population residing near these garden plots, the presence of Anopheles dirus (a highly efficient vector), and a degree of malaria immunity within the inhabitants created suitable conditions to sustain malaria transmission outside the village.
