Updating estimates of < i > Plasmodium knowlesi < /i > malaria risk in response to changing land use patterns across Southeast Asia

DiscussionOur map ofP.knowlesi relative transmission suitability estimates that the risk posed by the pathogen is highest in Malaysia and Indonesia, with localised areas of high risk also predicted in the Greater Mekong Subregion, The Philippines and Northeast India. These results highlight areas of priority forP.knowlesi surveillance and prospective sampling to address the challenge the disease poses to malaria elimination planning.
