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?
