MALARIA: China: P. vivax seropositivity in 5 of the 6 nonhuman primate centers

Our survey showed P. vivax seropositivity in 5 of the 6 nonhuman primate centers in southern China, which is a potential health problem for bred cynomolgus monkeys. This finding also indicates the risk for infection with P. vivax for the employees of these nonhuman primate centers. Therefore, studies are warranted that assess the seroprevalence of P. vivax infection in persons who work in these nonhuman primate centers, as well as the seroprevalence of P. vivax infection in wild monkeys.
