We have a number of videos that explain the principles of genetics and resistance to control measures. They are a lay summary of how resistance can emerge, what genetic variation is and how genetics can be used to power malaria control decision making.
Animations
How does insecticide resistance happen?
Focusing on how natural selection drives insecticide resistance relating to malaria and how genetic monitoring of mosquito populations can help inform us. Led by Dr George Busby and Dr Vikki Cornelius (now Simpson). Animation by Lottie Kingslake.
What can genetics tell us about Malaria?
A simple animation focusing on variation, inheritance and genetic mutation using the malaria parasite as an example. Led by Dr George Busby and Dr Vikki Cornelius (now Simpson). Animation by Lottie Kingslake.
Malaria Drug Resistance and Genomics
Learn how DNA sequencing technologies are being used to better understand drug resistant malaria parasites, and to track and contain them before they spread. Led by Steve Pritchard and Rachel Giacomantonio. Animation by Laura Hart.
