Project Name: Study on New Technique of Case Tracking in Malaria Eradication Stage

Project Owner: The National Institute of Parasitic Diseases (IPD), Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (China CDC)

Project Profile: The technique adopted in this project selects SNP specific to Plasmodium falciparum imported from China-Myanmar border by comparative genomics, to design and evaluate corresponding gene chips, screen and identify molecular markers that can effectively identify imported Plasmodium falciparum along the border between China and Myanmar, and establish a gene traceability technique that can objectively trace the origin of imported malaria, so as to accurately assess the risk of transmission in epidemic areas and take timely and effective treatment measures.
