Malaria

Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by parasites of the genus Plasmodium and transmitted to humans through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. It is a major global health problem, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. Using epidemiological and ecological approaches, we want to understand the interactions between human, vector and environmental factors. We also focus on innovative strategies that consider ecological and environmental factors.
