Malaria remains a major global health problem leading to significant human morbidity and mortality. The World Health Organization reports that about half a million people die of malaria each year with most of these deaths occurring in children in Sub-Saharan Africa. Significant gains in malaria control have been made in recent years largely on the backs of concerted vector control efforts including the use of bed nets and insecticides. Our area of research focuses on understanding the dynamics of the relationship between the mosquito vector and the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. Through a better understanding of this relationship we can inform the design of future control strategies aimed at malaria eradication.
