Parasites have the ability to develop mechanisms which allow them to evade our immune response and potentially acquire drug resistance.
In this short video, Dr Christian Nsanzabana, WWARN Scientific Coordinator, talks about why he is interested in antimalarial drug resistance and the ways in which WWARN are working to assess if resistance has developed outside of the Mekong region.
Christian highlights the importance of combining malaria drug resistance data from different research fields to help provide a fuller picture.
