WWARN Molecular Surveyor
Use this tool to visualise data from hundreds of publications examining molecular markers for drug resistance in malaria parasites.
Navigating WWARN Molecular Surveyor
The information on WWARN Molecular Surveyor is viewed after selecting an antimalarial and/or resistance marker.
Selecting antimalarial(s) & resistance markers
Different colour markers are used to locate individual studies on the map. Each colour relates to the percentage of the data set found to exhibit a resistance marker.
Selecting data
Antimalarial
Select from three antimalarials or view any drug. Studies may include data relating to more than one antimalarial.
Resistance markers
Select from eleven molecular markers of resistance. A description of the chosen marker is displayed below the map, with references. Studies may include data from more than one resistance marker.
Filtering data
Time
The time slider allows users to display studies performed during a particular time period, for example 1985-2010. Only studies performed during the selected time period will be visible.
Sample size
The sample size slider allows users to display studies within a specific range, for example –> 50 samples.
