We're working with researchers in malaria-endemic countries to generate large-scale genetic and genomic data on all three malaria genomes: human, parasite, and mosquito. The Plasmodium falciparum Community Project supports groups around the world to integrate parasite genome sequencing into clinical and epidemiological studies of malaria. Our projects provide a framework for malaria researchers around the world to work together on large-scale studies that combine epidemiology with the analysis of genome variation to better understand the evolutionary battle between human hosts, malaria parasites, and the mosquito vector
