HAMMS project: Malaria molecular surveillance in the Horn of Africa
Objectives
To build sustainable malaria parasite and vector genomic surveillance and response capacity in the Horn of Africa.
Principal Institution
Principal Investigators / Focal Persons
Rationale and Abstract
The project intends to establish a university-malaria program network for surveillance of converging biological threats in the Horn of Africa and demonstrate a model for real-time and granular molecular surveillance to inform policy by identifying locally informative genetic targets and adopting and customizing a highly sensitive, targeted, and multiplexed Plasmodium and Anopheles genotyping toolkit.
