WWARN’s Explorer is a unique interactive map that allows users to search through a comprehensive database of research study results on antimalarial drug resistance from malaria endemic countries. Review the latest studies available online, including data from Nigeria, Peru, Cambodia, Ethiopia and Sudan.- The Institut Pasteur in Cambodia recently developed a Ring Stage Survival Assay (RSA) protocol that evaluates the reduced susceptibility of slow-clearing malaria parasites following antimalarial treatments. If you’re a researcher who’d like to enhance your skills, we invite you to join our 5-day practical RSA workshop in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
- At the 7th EDCTP forurm, WWARN Director, Philippe Guérin, presented the Parasite Clearance Estimator tool, a consistent and reliable way to estimate potential antimalarial resistance.
- WWARN’s Latin American partners are using their expertise to contribute to regional efforts to map and understand chloroquine resistant P. vivax malaria in Latin America.
