  eLife Assessment

  This valuable manuscript presents a spatiotemporal genetic analysis of malaria-infected individuals from four villages in The Gambia, covering the period between December 2014 and May 2017. Overall, laboratory and data analyses are solid, although details of the methods are lacking. This study offers evidence to advance the understanding of malaria epidemiology in sub-Saharan Africa, but would benefit from additional analysis to strengthen the findings.

  eLife Assessment

  This valuable study highlights how the diversity of the malaria parasite population diminishes following the initiation of effective control interventions but quickly rebounds as control wanes. The data presented is convincing and the work shows how genetic studies could be used to monitor changes in disease transmission.
