Genomic Surveillance to Tackle Antimalarial and Insecticide Resistance in Malaria Control: A Narrative Review

Background

Malaria control depends on the continued efficacy of antimalarial drugs and insecticide-based vector control, both of which are increasingly compromised by the evolving genetic capacity of Plasmodium falciparum and Anopheles mosquitoes to resist these tools. Genomic surveillance offers a faster and more spatially resolved alternative to traditional phenotypic monitoring, which is the focus of this review.
