Malaria immunity and elimination of artemisinin resistance reservoirs

Objectives

The aim of this projects is to establish how immunity impacts on patterns of malaria and drug resistance in clinical and community-based trials in pre-elimination areas.

Principal Institution

Burnet Institute, Australia

Principal Investigators / Focal Persons

Freya JI Fowkes

Rationale and Abstract

Ambitious global goals have been set for malaria elimination. Significant obstacles to achieving goals include increasing drug resistance and major knowledge gaps in malaria transmission. Practical tools and strategies will be developed to inform malaria treatment, monitor malaria exposure and evaluate the success of elimination programs.
