Exploring the genetic progression of MDR1 in : A decade of multi-regional genetic analysis (2014-2024).

Background: The genetic progression of the MDR1 gene in , a key factor in drug resistance, presents significant challenges for malaria control. This study aims to elucidate the genetic diversity and evolutionary dynamics of P. falciparum, particularly focusing on the MDR1 gene across multi-regional populations.

A conceptual framework on the role of backward integration in sustainable access to malaria intervention commodities in Nigeria.

Background: Over the last two decades, global stakeholders and the Nigerian government have invested approximately $2 billion in malaria control, reducing parasite prevalence to 23% from 42% to 2010. However, there is a risk that the modest gains will be reversed due to unmet resource gaps. Backward integration is presented in this paper as a viable option for sustainable funding of malaria intervention commodities in Nigeria.
