Mosquito virome
Mosquito control
Impact of environmental factors on entomological and disease outcomes
- Characterizing insect specific viruses (ISVs) present in mosquito populations
- Determining the impact of co-infection with ISVs on the epidemiology of human pathogens
- Understanding the molecular immune response of the mosquito towards ISVs
- Investigating the impact of ISVs on the host life history traits as well as their tropism and mechanisms of transmission
Mosquito control
- Field trial to test the impact of the In2Care trap on mosquito abundance
Impact of environmental factors on entomological and disease outcomes
- Impact of habitat type and season on mosquito community composition and abundance
- Impact of socio-economic factors on mosquito community composition and abundance
