Solving the surveillance challenges for malaria elimination in high burden countries
Objectives
The main goal of this project is to use sensitive molecular diagnostics to identify asymptomatic malaria infections and inform effective elimination strategies in high-transmission regions.
Principal Institution
Principal Investigators / Focal Persons
Rationale and Abstract
Where malaria transmission is extremely high in Africa and India, virtually everyone is infected with diverse parasite species and strains. Most people do not have symptoms so they will not come to the clinic to be diagnosed. To eliminate malaria, it is necessary to proactively identify these asymptomatic infections using sensitive molecular diagnostics. This project will use such diagnostics to define better strategies to eliminate malaria where transmission is high.
