Classifying the Natural History of Asymptomatic Malaria

UW Medicine Newsroom

Detecting malaria in people who aren’t experiencing symptoms is vital to public health efforts to better control this tropical disease in places where the mosquito-borne parasite is common. Researchers found that parasite dynamics and the parasite species present were highly variable among patients with low-level, asymptomatic infections. This finding is important for improving studies on the prevalence of malaria infection and, by extension, for clinical trials of malaria vaccines and therapeutics.

Favorite part about grad school:

The community of students in Pathobiology, and being a part of the larger science and global health community in Seattle. I loved how interdisciplinary the training was in Pathobiology. I felt like I learned how to listen to and present to colleagues across a wide spectrum of specialties within infectious disease and global health research.
