Established in 1986, the Shoklo Malaria Research Unit (SMRU) is a field station attached to the Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand and is part of the Wellcome-Oxford-Mahidol-University-Research Programme.

The Malaria Task Force (MTF) was set up in 1995 to assist all medical NGOs working in refugee camps along the Thai-Burma border, with their malaria control activities. The tasks, activities and reports of the MTF can be found in the MTF page.

SMRU Malaria HANDOUT, in English and Burmese Edition (August 2004) was prepared for the NGOs working along the Thai-Burma border and other groups confronting malaria in the region. It is composed of short summaries on treatment of uncomplicated malaria and of uncomplicated hyperparasitaemia, treatment of severe malaria and malaria in pregnancy.
