Award for genomic research on invasive Anopheles stephensi and Plasmodium populations in Africa to understand adaptation and predict malaria outbreaks, funded by NIAID.
Description
The project focuses on the genomic investigation of invasive Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes and their interaction with Plasmodium populations in Africa. The project aims to identify genomic bases of adaptation and develop surveillance tools to predict malaria outbreak risks. It involves collaboration with institutions in the US, Ethiopia, and Somalia.
