对基因组变异的大规模研究可以帮助消除疟疾。但在疾病负担最严重的发展中国家进行此类研究面临着科学、伦理和实践方面的挑战。疟疾基因组流行病学网络 (MalariaGEN) 目前正在努力克服这些障碍，采用联合方法，将来自 21 个国家的研究人员聚集在一起。
Large-scale studies of genomic variation could assist efforts to eliminate malaria. But there are scientific, ethical and practical challenges to carrying out such studies in developing countries, where the burden of disease is greatest. The Malaria Genomic Epidemiology Network (MalariaGEN) is now working to overcome these obstacles, using a consortial approach that brings together researchers from 21 countries.
