This project investigates how malaria parasites, specifically gametocytes, are transmitted by mosquitoes. It aims to understand the relationship between gametocyte density and transmission efficiency, as well as the role of immune responses in this process, using advanced molecular techniques and mathematical models.
Background:
A major challenge for malaria elimination is its phenomenally efficient spread through sexual stage parasites (gametocytes).
Many individuals in endemic settings harbour low but transmissible gametocyte densities.
It is currently unclear how gametocyte density translates into the likelihood that an infected mosquito gives rise to secondary infections, who drive malaria transmission at population level and how anti-gametocyte immunity affects gametocyte production and infectivity. I h…
