3rd Pamca Day-2 During the session 4, Ngongang-Yipmo Sonia, PhD student at CRID, presented her research on the « Long-term impact of exposure to Royal Guard®, a Pyriproxyfen-based bed net on pyrethroid-resistant malaria vectors from Cameroon using resistance markers ». Congrats to her !


On the 25th of Sep. 2024, PAMCA together with our partners MalariaGEN , hosted a virtual mini-symposium featuring 11 insightful presentations from trainees of the PAMCA-MalariaGEN Anopheles Genomic Surveillance Data Analysis Training Course. More: lnkd.in/dCBmt8_D


Growing capacity for genomic data analysis in Africa = improved #malaria vector control 🖥️ Today, participants from the 3rd cohort of the PAMCA, Africa-MalariaGEN training course in data analysis for the genomic surveillance of African malaria vectors met for a virtual hackathon👏
