Background: The countries within the Greater Mekong Region of Southeast Asia have pledged to eliminate malaria by 2030. Elimination of Plasmodium vivax malaria is challenging as it requires radical cure to prevent relapse. Understanding and facilitating adherence to primaquine radical cure regimens is necessary for malaria elimination.

Background: To understand the emergence and spread of drug-resistant parasites in malaria-endemic areas, accurate assessment and monitoring of antimalarial drug resistance markers is critical. Recent advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have enabled the tracking of drug-resistant malaria parasites.
Methods: In this study, we used Targeted Amplicon Deep Sequencing (TADS) to characterise the genetic diversity of the Pfk13, Pfdhfr, Pfdhps, and Pfmdr1 genes among primary school-going children in 15 counties in Kenya (Bungoma, Busia, Homa Bay, Migori, Kakamega, Kilifi, Kirinyaga, Kisii, Kisumu, Kwale, Siaya, Tana River, Turkana, Vihiga and West Pokot).

Artemisinin-based treatments (ACTs) are the first therapy currently used to treat malaria produced by . However, in recent years, increasing evidence shows that some strains of are less susceptible to ACT in the Southeast Asian region. A data reanalysis of several omics approaches currently available about parasites of that have some degree of resistance to ACT was carried out.

Environmental characteristics drastically shape the host-parasite associations under natural conditions. This is the case of parasites such as avian haemosporidians which naturally infect birds and are transmitted by insect vectors. Landscape characteristics are known to determine the epidemiology of transmission of these parasites in the wild, but the strength of these factors may differ at different spatial scales.
