Graduate student Daniel Parker will be doing field work in Thailand between July 11th and August 10, 2011.

Daniel will be collecting malaria drug resistance data and epidemiological data concerning monthly numbers of Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax infections.  National data will come from the Vector Borne Disease Training Center in Phra Phutthabat, Saraburi Province.  Then he will travel to a regional office in Mae Sot for data concerning Tak Province, a province that has historically had the heaviest malaria burden in Thailand.  Finally he will go to Tha Song Yong district, along the Myanmar-Thailand border, to collect village-level data.
