Abstract
Integrated malaria molecular surveillance (iMMS) systems are essential for Africa's expanding malaria genomics initiatives. Here we highlight a few initiatives and demonstrate how iMMS can support evidence-based decisions and policies for National Malaria Programs and other malaria control stakeholders. We conclude with key considerations for advancing these malaria genomics initiatives towards sustainable iMMS.
Description
This article is based on outcomes of a symposium that the authors convened at the 72nd Annual Meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH) in October 2023, in Chicago, IL, USA.
