Vector control

Current vector control strategies focus largely on indoor measures, such as long-lasting insecticide treated nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS). However, other aspects of mosquito ecology can be addressed to minimise exposure to infectious bites for human communities.

Gene drive

Gene-drive technologies are a promising new tool to reduce the density of the female Anopheles populations responsible for the transmission of malaria.

Parasite and mosquito biology

The dynamics of malaria are determined by the underlying biology of the parasite in the human host and mosquito vector. Using a variety of tailor-made statistical and mathematical models we are investigating various aspects of parasite and mosquito biology that may improve disease surveillance and control.
