A malaria parasite that primarily infects monkeys and apes is increasingly spreading to humans in Southeast Asia, posing a significant challenge to malaria elimination efforts. As countries in the region approach eradication, zoonotic infections, driven by deforestation and closer human-wildlife contact, threaten to reverse this progress.

Hear from Assoc Prof Kimberly Fornace as she delves into the imperative for innovative approaches to control zoonotic diseases, as traditional human-cantered methods fall short when wildlife hosts are involved.
