Building capacity for genomic surveillance of malaria mosquitoes in Africa
Funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will enable the Pan African Mosquito Control Association (PAMCA) to launch nine new projects for mosquito genomics researchers across Africa. The Sanger Institute will sequence 500 mosquito genomes from each study. The deadline for research applications is 3 October 2018
In search of the hidden reservoir of Malaria
20.12.16 Arthur Talman explains how his field work in Mali could help understand the behaviour of malaria parasites.
Stealth and sabotage
15.07.15 Abigail Perrin explains how malaria parasites trick our immune system
Keeping pace with changing parasite genetics
25.04.15 Malaria parasites adapt at a frightening rate. A global collaboration has compiled a large collection of P. falciparum genomes and is using this resource to keep up.
Wondrous diversity
04.02.15 Malaria-transmitting mosquito populations harbour an extraordinary potential for adaptation, says Alistair Miles
Poised and waiting for malaria’s next move
11.09.14 Scientists across Africa have set up a network to track and rapidly respond to the emergence of antimalarial drug resistance. Sanger International Fellow Abdoulaye Djimdé explains why it’s so vital
Secrets and secretions of merozoite proteins
10.07.14 If we can understand the function of the proteins displayed on the surface of malaria parasites, we might be able to make highly effective vaccines
