Genetic profile of P. falciparum strains in villages around Soum irrigation Dam, Burkina Faso: insights from targeted sequencing of drug resistance markers in Pfkelch13, Pfubp1, Pfcoronin, Pfcrt, Pfmdr1, Pfdhps and Pfdhfr genes

Abstract Hydro-agricultural settings may sustain high and prolonged malaria transmission and increase antimalarial drug use, potentially intensifying selection pressure on P. falciparum strains. Molecular surveillance in these settings is essential to detect changes in markers as...

An Integrated Mobile Laboratory Workflow for Wastewater and Environmental Pathogen Surveillance: Performance Evaluation and Field Application in Sub-Saharan Africa

Abstract Mobile laboratories (MLs) offer a practical solution for decentralized wastewater and environmental surveillance in settings with limited laboratory infrastructure, cold-chain logistics, and trained personnel. However, field-deployable molecular workflows suitable for di...
