In this video, ELENA LEVASHINA analyzes the mechanisms of how mosquitoes transmit malaria. * Combining population studies conducted in the field with mathematical approaches, Levashina finds that mosquitoes with particular genetic characteristics transmit malaria more effectively than others. * Though further research is needed on mosquito populations and their movements, the research suggests that interventions aimed at eradicating malaria might more profitably target particular kinds of mosquitoes rather than their populations more generally. * Want to find out more about Elena Levashina?
