Natural variations in egg hatching behaviour and selection of novel slowhatching strains for male anopheline deployment (2023)
Thesis

Genetic Mosquito mass release is a promising tool in the suppression of wild Anopheles gambiae sensu lato mosquitoes as part of malaria control in Africa. This tool requires a plethora number of eggs and a strain with good fitness. Thus, the success...

Exploring the use of attractive sugar bait stations to deliver antiplasmodial compounds to Anopheles mosquitoes (2022)
Thesis

Between 2000 and 2015, Sub-Saharan Africa made historic process against the scourge of malaria. Since this time there has been a plateau in the number of malaria cases and mortalities. The decreasing efficacy of the current methods used against this... Read More about Exploring the use of attractive sugar bait stations to deliver antiplasmodial compounds to Anopheles mosquitoes.

Larval ecological adaptations, water quality and aquaticbacterial communities in Anopheles gambiae s.l. :prospects for improved rearing techniques towards releaseprogrammes (2020)
Thesis

The sibling species Anopheles gambiae s.s. and Anopheles coluzzii are the most important vectors of human malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. They are thought to be undergoing speciation with gene flow with rare viable hybrids but are reproductively isola...
