Planning your schedule for Wednesday at #MIM2024 ?
Join us at 13:30 in Symposium42 to discuss #malariagenomics for public health impact.
Co-chaired by Estée Torok Gates Foundation & Alfredo Mayor CISM Manhiça and with a strong lineup of MMS rock-stars
Our paper on diagnostic resistance in Tanzania🇹🇿 is finally out. RDTs are performing optimally and the prevalence of single deleted parasites is <0.5%. More surveillance is underway and we are excited to be part of this important initiative. Estée Torok nature.com/articles/s4159…

What a week for our team. A new paper on trends of molecular markers of drug resistance to antimalarial drugs in Tanzania (2016-2021). We missed artemisinin resistance markers because the sites were not spot on. More work to do to track resistance. malariajournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
