Validation of a new real-time PCR based kit for detection and typing of 5 human pathogenic Plasmodium species, including P. knowlesi in whole blood specimen

Abstract

Conclusion:We observe an increase in symptom reporting during the 2017-18 influenza season to date, compared to the 2016-17 flu season. We also observed a decrease in participants experiencing symptoms who seek medical attention. We hope to provide an opportunity for the public to engage directly, as well as continue to be the trusted source for community-level disease surveillance.
