Genomic epidemiology of malaria vectors in the Anopheles gambiae species complex

Thesis

In this thesis I ask, how can the study of genome variation within malaria vector populations contribute to the control of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa.

In the first chapter I provide an introduction to the current situation in malaria control in sub-Saharan Africa, and the role played by large-scale mosquito control programmes using insecticide-based interventions. I also introduce high-throughput whole-genome sequencing and its potential applications to the study and surv...
