Targeted Genomic Surveillance Unveils Genetic Variations Linked to Regional Malaria Drug Resistance Dynamics in India
India's resistance landscape is fragmented, with signals of expanding lumefantrine tolerance and importation or evolution of globally relevant mutations. These findings highlight the importance of integrating molecular genomic surveillance into malaria control policy to monitor and protect ACT effectiveness and advance malaria elimination.
