G-AVENIR is developing local infrastructural and computational capacity for bioinformatics data management, storage and analysis. In addition, it will create a translational pathway for vector control decision making within local NMCPs by interpreting and utilising the results from this project to inform IRM strategies in Benin and Kenya, and in the process develop a curriculum for other countries to use to integrate genomics into their vector control programs.
This study showed that while environmentally acquired microbiota persist in immature first progeny of field-collected mosquitoes following laboratory colonization, they are shed by the adult stage
This study showed an effect of insecticide exposure and resistance on the mosquito microbiota, and identified microbes that were enriched in resistant mosquitoes as potential markers of insecticide resistance
Diarrheal diseases and dengue fever are major global health problems. Household drinking water (DW) storage can be a determinant for both diseases if water is fecally contaminated and the storage containers provide breeding sites for dengue …
