Kenya

In collaboration with the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (ICIPE) in Nairobi and Mbita Point (Kenya), as well as Valent BioSciences (USA), breeding sites of Anopheles gambiae s.l. were mapped and characterized to establish a foundation for environmentally responsible malaria vector control.

Much of this work was carried out as part of the postdoctoral research of Dr. Ulrike Fillinger, in cooperation with Durham University and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. Dr. Fillinger also completed her doctoral research at these institutions. Her extensive experience in malaria control in Africa contributed to her involvement in the WHO manual “Larval Source Management.”
