Decoding Malaria: An African Perspective of the Journey from Microscopy to Genomics

2025-10-21

Abstract excerpt

Malaria remains one of the most pressing public health challenges in Africa, a continent that bears a significant percentage of the global malaria morbidity and mortality. From the earliest microscopic discoveries of Plasmodium to the era of genomics and vaccine innovations, Africa has stood both as the epicentre of the disease, and the focal point of global research and control efforts. The continent’s unique eco...
