Impactful malaria science, and the trailblazers leading the fight. A podcast from the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute.

Sep 25, 2023

In 1951, malaria was eliminated from the US. But just this past summer, the parasite that causes the disease has re-infected local mosquitoes and caused a handful of cases of malaria in three US states.

In this interview podcast, we ask:

  • What should we make of these cases?
  • Is the public possibly at risk of this once-eliminated disease?
  • How can genomics help us to better understand what’s happened?
