When mosquitoes defence is turned against them to reduce malaria burden! In our new paper in Cell Reports, we show that some P450 genes used by mosquitoes in Africa to survive insecticide-treated nets, are now making them more vulnerable to Chlorfenapyr, used on novel novel nets

Tuesday, August 20, was World Mosquito Day. On the occasion, Dr. Magellan Tchouakui gave an interview to the bilingual national newspaper "Cameroon Tribune" on the issue of Mosquito Resistance. Here is the article published in Cameroon Tribune N° 13170. Wellcome WHO African Region

#CRID - CDC course on #Anopheles stephensi surveillance in #Cameroon is ongoing! Today, participants split into two groups. Group 1 was out in the field with Dr. Magellan Tchouakui and Dr. Ranaise Lili, implementing surveillance process in #Yaoundé. #PublicHealth

Happy to have facilitated the organisation of this very important meeting in Cameroon. Looking forward to the next steps.

I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the Wellcome Trust for organizing such an inspiring and impactful Researcher Meeting. It was a true honor for us to represent CRID at this prestigious event. Wellcome CRID-Cam

As a facilitator at the “Science for Defeating #Malaria” course in Kigali, it was a pleasure to lead the session on how to tackle Vector control challenges to accelerate malaria elimination. I was assisted throughout by Dr Magellan Tchouakui , Wellcome Trust fellow at CRID-Cam .

On June 17, Prof.Charles Wondji addressed key challenges and solutions in malaria #VectorControl at the #ScienceOfDefeatingMalaria course in Kigali. 50 experts, including Dr.Magellan Tchouakui, are being trained in surveillance, logistics, and outbreak response. @all

Just had the privilege participating to the panel discussion at Science of Defeating Malaria Leadership Development Course, sharing insights on "Accelerating Genomic Approaches for Malaria Eradication." Thanks to Prof Charles Wondji for the mentorship & #wellcome Trust for supporting

Dr. Magellan Tchouakui, a Wellcome Early Career Fellow took part to the panel discussion at the "Science of Defeating Malaria: A Leadership Development Course," in Kigali where he shared CRID expertise on "Accelerating Genomic Approaches for Malaria Eradication."

Dr. Magellan Tchouakui, Research Scientist, and Mr. Brice Natchema, Research Assistant from #CRID, are currently participating in the prestigious 37th European Educational Programme in Epidemiology (#EEPE2025). The event is taking place in Florence, Italy, from 16 June to 11 July.

On Friday, 26 September 2025, the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Yaoundé I hosted the 10th anniversary of the Association de la Promotion Solidarité (APS). As the main sponsor, CRID seized this milestone to showcase its cutting-edge insectary and laboratory facilities.

CANVECT HOLDS A SIDE MEETING AT #ASTMH25 November 11th, 2025 - CANVeCT team was delighted to connect with global stakeholders and researchers. The aim was to foster collaboration, elevate the visibility of spatial emanators, and promote innovation in vector control. Unitaid

ASTMH25 - Dr. Armel Tedjou, Ph.D. delivered a pivotal presentation titled “Entomological and Molecular Surveillance in High-Risk Entry Points of Cameroon, Central Africa.” His talk addressed a critical question: Is Anopheles stephensi at the doorstep in Central Africa? LSHTM RAFT
