Controlling emergent Anopheles stephensi in Ethiopia and Sudan

The Asian malaria vector Anopheles stephensi has recently been discovered in Africa. We
hypothesise that invasive An. stephensi poses a significant malaria risk in urban
settings in the Horn of Africa and that this risk can be mitigated through targeted,
multi-sectoral vector control combined with rigorous entomological surveillance. This
project brings together a multidisciplinary team of investigators with expertise in
epidemiology, parasitology, entomology, mathematical and geostatistical modelling and
medical anthropology with the aim of controlling the spread of An. stephensi in Ethiopia and
Sudan.
