What we do
GenRe-Mekong is a genetic surveillance project conceived to provide public health experts in the Greater Mekong Subregion and neighboring countries with timely and actionable knowledge, to support their decision-making in malaria elimination efforts. In partnership with National Malaria Control Programmes (NMCPs) and regional research studies, GenRe-Mekong collects and analyzes small dried blood spots samples from patients with symptomatic malaria, and uses high-throughput technologies to extract large amounts of parasite genetic information from each sample. The results are captured in Genetic Report Cards, which consist of datasets and reports regularly delivered to NMCPs to keep them abreast of rapid epidemiological changes in the parasite population.
