Nanopore sequencing for malaria molecular surveillance: opportunities and challenges

Trends Parasitol. 2023 Oct 19:S1471-4922(23)00235-0. doi: 10.1016/j.pt.2023.09.014. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNanopore-based sequencing platforms offer the potential for affordable malaria molecular surveillance (MMS) in resource-limited settings to track and ultimately counteract emerging threats, such as drug resistance and diagnostic escape. Here, we discuss opportunities and challenges to implementing MMS using nanopore sequencing, highlighting priority areas for technical development and innovation.PMID:37865609 | DOI:10.1016/j.pt.2023.09.014
