Keystone Symposia’s “The Science of Malaria Eradication” – 2014: Complete Series

The MESA Correspondents are early career volunteers who bring you cutting-edge coverage from malaria conferences in real time. The summaries of the new learnings are shared online, expanding access to the event. The MESA Correspondents program is a collaboration between MESA and the conference organizers.

This report from the Keystone Symposia 2014 “The Science of Malaria Eradication”, which took place in Merida, Mexico, on February 2 – 7, 2014, is brought to you by the MESA Correspondent Kate Whitfield.

This Keystone Symposia meeting provided a comprehensive look at the cutting edge of the science of malaria eradication as it advances.  For the first time since the paradigm shift from malaria control to the interruption of transmission, research, development, innovation and lessons learned will all be captured.  The central goal of the meeting is to provide a unique and needed space for malaria eradication scientists to share new information and advance the scientific debate.  As the field develops and results emerge, so too will the questions which need to be answered.  The meeting facilities cross-fertilization among multiple disciplines that have a role in advancing the science of malaria eradication.
