Description
Warachaya Apajamjarut and a large team reviewed in 2026 two decades of evidence on malaria and leishmaniasis in Thailand, two insect-borne parasitic diseases. From nearly 1,400 records they kept 57 studies. Malaria clung to border and forest areas, with nine parasite species recorded, including two that jump from animals. The deadliest species has declined since 2012.
Leishmaniasis appeared across many regions, with six species found. Two species predominated in people living with HIV. Seven provinces reported both diseases, sharing forest work, travel, and ecological conditions as risk themes. The overlap is at province level, not proven joint transmission. The authors recommend integrated surveillance under a One Health approach, especially protecting immunocompromised people and forest workers.
