Molecular studies to map malaria parasite populations are essential for planning and maintaining malaria control in at risk areas. We will develop molecular tools to map malaria parasite populations in Papua New Guinea at high resolution. We will then investigate whether these tools can be used to pinpoint the source of infections in regions where malaria is normally absent. The project will provide valuable information to help focus malaria control efforts to areas where they will be most effective.

绘制疟原虫种群分布图的分子研究对于在风险地区规划和维持疟疾控制至关重要。我们将开发分子工具，以高分辨率绘制巴布亚新几内亚的疟疾寄生虫种群。然后，我们将研究这些工具是否可以用来查明疟疾通常不存在的地区的感染源。该项目将提供宝贵的信息，帮助将疟疾控制工作的重点放在最有效的地区。
