Using parasite genetic and human mobility data to infer local and cross-border malaria connectivity in Southern Africa

Using parasite genetic and human mobility data to infer local and cross-border malaria connectivity in Southern Africa

Local and cross-border importation remain major challenges to malaria elimination and are difficult to measure using traditional surveillance data. To address this challenge, we systematically collected parasite genetic data and travel history from thousands of malaria cases across northeastern Nami...
