Operationalising Environmental DNA (eDNA) Detection of Major Malaria Vector Species in Ghana
ABSTRACT The global landscape of vector‐borne diseases (VBDs) is shifting, driven by climate change, urbanisation and widespread habitat modification, requiring novel approaches to surveillance, prevention and control. To improve our capacity to respond to real‐time emergent VBD threats, this study undertook cross‐sectional sampling of suspected ...
