Project Title: Development of a new tool for Malaria mosquito surveillance to improve vector control
Project Description: This project proposes to develop a rapid and cost-effective tool based on mid-infrared spectroscopy (MIRS) analysis to simultaneously determine demographic traits in malaria vector to facilitate large scale surveillance of wild populations. Specifically, the research team aims to develop this technology to determine: The species and age Insecticide resistance status This project proposes to develop a rapid and cost-effective tool based on mid-infrared spectroscopy (MIRS) analysis to simultaneously determine demographic traits in malaria vector to facilitate large scale surveillance of wild populations.
