Our team Kenya Medical Research Institute is grateful for this collaboration on the AEGIS. We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to saving lives!

Our rigorous large scale cluster randomized control trial that examined the effect of Attractive targeted sugar baits is now available as a preprint. linkedin.com/posts/eric-och…

Are humans really the best source of blood meals for mosquitoes? Well here we demonstrate you may have excellent non human options for your mosquito colonies, whether the hosts are equally attractive is a different question... Enjoy the read: journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

The mosquitoes have no borders, we have to work with our neighbors if malaria elimination is to be realized. This week, we begin the conversations to making Kenya Uganda malaria control a reality! Ministry of Health Ministry of Health- Uganda Kenya Medical Research Institute Marq

In our recent article, we describe insensitivity to spatial repellents as associated with target site mutations and molecular markers. We recommend that in areas where SRs are deployed, routine monitoring should be done: doi.org/10.12688/verix… eric ochomo, Kenya Medical Research Institute
