Howler monkeys are the reservoir of malaria parasites causing zoonotic infections in the Atlantic forest of Rio de Janeiro

2019-07-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Although malaria transmission was eradicated from southeast Brazil, a significant increase in the number of Plasmodium vivax-like autochthonous human cases has been reported in remote areas of the Atlantic Forest in the last decades in Rio de Janeiro (RJ) state, including an outbreak in 2015-2016. The singular clinical and epidemiological aspects of several human cases combined with molecular...
