Wellcome Trust: Characterising insecticide resistance-associated fitness cost and their compensatory genetic modifiers in major African malaria vectors

Projects

Malaria remains a devastating disease in the World (nearly 1/2 of the world population at risk) and particularly in Africa where more than 95% of cases are occurring. Prevention still primarily relies on vector control using insecticide-based interventions including impregnated nets which have significantly reduced malaria’s burden in Africa since their introduction. Given this heavy…

RAFT-Rapid Response Funding (RRF2): Mitigating the threat of the invasive malaria vector Anopheles stephensi in Cameroon through entomological and molecular surveillance

Projects

This project is funded by the Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) under the RAFT consortium directed by Professors Sian Clark and Joe Lines, for £60,000. Launched in January 2024, the project is set to end in July 2025. The Resilience Against Future Threats through Vector Control (RAFT) -RRF2 project aims to: Conduct entomological surveillance and…

MALARIA MODELING CAPACITY-BUILDING RFP: African Consortium in Modelling for Effective Vector Control (ACoMVeC)

Projects

This is a Project funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to the Centre for Research in Infectious Diseases (CRID) with aims at supporting capacity-building efforts in malaria mathematical modeling across sub-Saharan Africa with a specific focus on vector control, to help maximize its impact and reduce malaria burden.
