Project Title: NIH (Ecological and Genetic Determinants of Malaria Transmition)

Project Description: This is a 5 years which is basically involved in malaria control. The two major activities of the team involved: 1. Field Collections of mosquitoes 2. Laboratory work: PCR and ELISA at IHI and SNPs at Davis California. Field work will be done in 4 villages of Lupiro, Minepa, Kidugalo and Sagamaganga. Dr. Lanzaro from University of Carlifornia and Dr. Heather from University of Glasgow are the collaborators in this project Major Aims 1. To...
