Project Description

The recent invasion of Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes poses a new and significant threat to malaria control efforts in Africa. Advances in molecular biology, bioinformatics, modeling, and other disciplines provide exciting opportunities to develop new and effective An. stephensi surveillance and control tools. Training next-generation scientists to enable them to effectively use the new technologies and enhancing the malaria research capacity will greatly facilitate malaria control efforts in Africa.
