CDC with innovative approach to combating plasmodiasis incidence. Malaria free world is the goal. #Africa #Publichealth
Malaria remains a leading cause of preventable illness and death in the world. In summer 2023, a team of CDC experts and Public Health Entomology for All (PHEFA) interns developed a test known as the CLASS LAMP assay. This test can help public health officials across the world to quickly detect Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes, which can carry malaria. 🦟 CDC continues to be a global leader in malaria work, with our state-of-the-art insectary and entomology labs providing a platform for innovative research to address malaria's threat. https://bit.ly/3RAjkVk
