On the occasion of SADC Malaria Day, join us for this webinar that will discuss the use of malaria genomic data for decision making. More details to follow
Last week our team was at INIS-Angola providing training on malaria molecular diagnosis. This is the first of a series of workshops aimed at building capacity for malaria genomic surveillance and TES molecular analysis, with support from
@gatesfoundation.bsky.social
From Sep 29th to Oct 1st, the Mozambican NMCP and INS participated in Africa CDC's Regional Malaria Molecular Surveillance Collaborative Analytics Workshop for Public Health in Addis Ababa. The workshop was run by KEMRI-Wellcome Trust Kilifi and @isglobal.org

Could you check again if the Zoom link shared in this post is working?
Thanks!
A postcard for the 'women in genomic surveillance' fireside chat webinar on 25th February at 3pm UK time on Zoom. To mark both the International Day of Women & Girls in STEM (February 11) and International Women's Day (March 8), join us for a panel discussion highlighting the different roles that women in genomics play in advancing global public health.
What does a career in genomic surveillance look like? 🧬
To mark both the International Day of Women & Girls in STEM (Feb 11) and International Women's Day (March 8), we're hosting a fireside chat to highlight diverse career paths in this growing field. 👩🔬

In this article, we show that malaria parasites with hrp2/3 deletions are still rare in Mozambique, supporting continuation in the use of HRP2-based RDT

However, no systematic survey had been carried out in Mozambique yet. We followed
@who.int 2020's master protocol to determine the prevalence of deletions causing false negative RDT results at HFS in 6 provinces (North-Centre-South)
