MLK Award Recipient is a DGH Member for Sixth Consecutive Year

In 1957 in Montgomery, Alabama, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. addressed an audience and stated that “life's most persistent and urgent question is, ‘what are you doing for others?’" Today his legacy is one of service and community impact. To honor that legacy, The School of Public Health participates in the annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Tribute sponsored by UW Health Sciences Schools, UW Health Sciences Administration and UW Medicine. 

Classifying the Natural History of Asymptomatic Malaria

UW Medicine Newsroom

Detecting malaria in people who aren’t experiencing symptoms is vital to public health efforts to better control this tropical disease in places where the mosquito-borne parasite is common. Researchers found that parasite dynamics and the parasite species present were highly variable among patients with low-level, asymptomatic infections. This finding is important for improving studies on the prevalence of malaria infection and, by extension, for clinical trials of malaria vaccines and therapeutics.
