Chen et al. conduct a genome-wide analysis of malaria parasites collected over 7 years from Sao Tome and Principe. The study reveals low genetic diversity, clonal turnover, importation, and limited recombination. There is a need for targeted strategies such as stopping importation and improving detection to halt transmission to achieve total elimination.
