Hearing of malaria mosquitoes is modulated by a beta-adrenergic-like octopamine receptor which serves as insecticide target (Publications)
Malaria mosquitoes acoustically detect their mating partners within large swarms that form transiently at dusk. Indeed, male malaria mosquitoes preferably respond to female flight tones during swarm t
The malaria blood stage antigen <em>Pf</em>CyRPA formulated with the TLR-4 agonist adjuvant GLA-SE elicits parasite growth inhibitory antibodies in... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Plasmodium falciparum cysteine-rich protective antigen (PfCyRPA) is an invasion complex protein essential for erythrocyte invasion. In contrast to several previously clinically tested mero
Relationship between insecticide resistance profiles in <em>Anopheles gambiae</em> <em>sensu lato</em> and agricultural practices in Côte... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Insecticide-based malaria vector control is increasingly undermined due to the development of insecticide resistance in mosquitoes. Insecticide resistance may partially be related to the u
Subjective burden of government-imposed Covid-19 restrictions in Switzerland: evidence from the 2022 LINK Covid-19 survey (Publications)
