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.
