Theoretical construct for continued transmission in low transmission settings. Malaria transmission in a low endemicity setting is likely the result of a combination of persistence through the dry, low transmission season and importation from other regions. However, the relative contribution of these remains unknown (red question marks). Parasite genomics can help understand these relationships. Different parasite lineages (colours of circles) may or may not survive through a dry season, shown by the reduction in diversity during the dry season. However, genetic diversity may be enhanced through importation through an external source
