Hot off the press! 🗞️ In the April issue of our newsletter, read about the Parasite Observatory, the journey of Plasmodium vivax in Latin America, how genomics is transforming malaria research in Africa, and more ⤵️ mailchi.mp/malariagen/202…

How did Plasmodium vivax evolve in Latin America? Our next Journal Club will be hosted by Margaux Lefebvre, a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology. 📅 Join us on May 20th at 1:30pm (UK time): sanger.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Our May Journal Club with Dr Margaux Lefebvre is in one week ⏳ Drawing from insights published in a recent PLOS Pathogens paper, she will explore the evolutionary history of Plasmodium vivax in Latin America. 📰 journals.plos.org/plospathogens/… Register: sanger.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Join Margaux Lefebvre and the MalariaGEN community for the next Malaria Genomic Epidemiology Journal Club, on May 20! We'll be focusing on the evolutionary history of P. vivax in Latin America. Register: sanger.zoom.us/webinar/regist… Read the paper: journals.plos.org/plospathogens/…

Today, I laid the foundation stone for the African Centre for Vector Genomics (AVecGen) building. Funded by Gates Foundation , this project aims to establish state-of-the-art genomics and bioinformatics facilities at CRID-Cam. #VectorGenomics LSTM MalariaGEN

We love this new paper in Nature Communications from Varanya Wasakul, Olivo Miotto and the GenRe team: nature.com/articles/s4146… It's a great example of the power of near-real-time genomic epidemiology to see what's happening to malaria parasites when drug policies change.

A Regional Consultative Workshop on Malaria Molecular Surveillance is underway in Uganda, co-hosted by Africa CDC PGI and Public Health Alliance for Genomic Epidemiology. 🔬 Alfred Amambua Ngwa and Charles Wondji opened with powerful insights on parasite & vector surveillance.
