Keystone Symposia Meeting "The Science of Malaria Eradication"
'The Science of Malaria Eradication', a conference co-organized by MESA and Keystone Symposia, brought together 170 scientists from 37 different countries during 2 - 7 February 2014 in Merida, Mexico. There was participation in exciting presentations and engaging discussions that showcased the cutting edge of malaria eradication science.
Operational Research Grants
Four new operational research projects in malaria elimination are under-way after being selected for funding through MESA. The MESA operational research portfolio includes: novel diagnostic and vector control tools, mapping technologies for surveillance, and mobile phone applications for hard to reach populations. Each project has a strong partnership between the country stakeholders and researchers, and the operational research questions addressed will generate information directly relevant to the country programmes.
