The first molecular detection of <em>Aedes albopictus</em> in Sudan associates with increased outbreaks of chikungunya and dengue (Publications)
As part of our surveys of the invasive malaria vector Anopheles stephensi in four Sudanese states, including North and South Kordofan, Sennar, and White Nile, we collected 166 larvae. Our morphological

funktioniert eine Malaria-Prophylaxe? Andreas Neumayr 5 DE 12:00-12:25 Wie Parasiten die Weltgeschichte verändert haben Pascal Mäser 4 DE 12:00-12:25 Wo stehen wir im Kampf gegen die Malaria? Manuel Hetzel
Small-scale field evaluation of PermaNet® Dual (a long-lasting net coated with a mixture of chlorfenapyr and deltamethrin) against... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Due to the rapid expansion of pyrethroid-resistance in malaria vectors in Africa, Global Plan for Insecticide Resistance Management (GPIRM) has recommended the development of long-lasting [...] populations. PermaNet((R)) Dual thus represents a promising tool, with a high potential to reduce malaria transmission and provide community protection in areas compromised by mosquito vector resistance

undetectable hypnozoite reservoir for relapsing Plasmodium vivax and P. ovale malarias presents a major challenge for malaria control and elimination in endemic countries. This study aims to directly determine

Detection and monitoring of insecticide resistance mutations in <em>Anopheles gambiae</em>: individual vs pooled specimens (Publications)
Bioassays and molecular diagnostics are routinely used for the monitoring of malaria vector populations to support insecticide resistance management (IRM), guiding operational decisions on which insecticides

Time of exposure and assessment influence the mortality induced by insecticides against metabolic resistant mosquitoes (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Increasing metabolic resistance in malaria vector mosquitoes resulted in the development of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) with active ingredients (AI) that target them. Bioassays that accurately
