DAVIS—Two University of California, Davis entomology doctoral students who collaborated last summer with scientists at the Malaria Research and Training Center at the University of Bamako, Mali, are now working with them on the UC Davis campus as part of an international training grant.
Graduate students Tara Thiemann and Lisa Reimer gained a grassroots perspective about malaria, one of the world’s oldest and deadliest diseases, on a West African research expedition led by UC Davis medical entomologists and faculty members Gregory Lanzaro, Anthony Cornel and Shirley Luckhart.
The UC Davis researchers are studying the population structure of Anopheles gambiae, insecticide resistance, and how the malaria parasite (Plasmodium) interacts with its mosquito vector.
Thiemann and Reimer, both grad students in the Lanzaro Vector Genetics Lab, Storer Hall, collected and examined specimens for three weeks in Mali with Lanzaro, Cornel and Luckhart. Thiemann and Cornel then hunted mosquitoes an additional five weeks in Cameroon. -more-
