Western Kenyan Anopheles gambiae showing intense permethrin resistance harbour distinct microbiota

**Background** Insecticide resistance poses a growing challenge to malaria vector control in Kenya and around the world. Following evidence of associations between the mosquito microbiota and insecticide resistance, the microbiota of Anopheles …

Effects of microbes on Aedes aegypti infestation in domestic water containers

As part of a larger project aimed at understanding the links between dengue and diarrheal diseases, and how control measures for both could be integrated, I developed and led work on the relationships between dengue vector infestation and fecal contamination in household water storage containers. **Open for more details**
