MSc 足球竞彩app排名 Wins Young Investigator Award

MSc student, Paul Mrosso, received the prestigious Young Investigator Award for presenting his research findings at the 2025 American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH) Annual Meeting in Canada.

His project tackled improving the breeding success of Anopheles funestus mosquitoes in insectary settings, which is a major challenge in malaria research. Anopheles funestus is one of Africa’s most efficient malaria vectors, yet it is notoriously difficult to rear in laboratory environments. This limitation has long hindered scientists’ ability to study its biology and behaviour, critical steps toward advancing malaria prevention.

Mrosso developed innovative modifications to the cage design, significantly enhancing the breeding success of this species. His work opens new opportunities for researchers to maintain stable colonies and deepen understanding of this high-risk vector, accelerating progress in global malaria control efforts.

Reflecting on the achievement, he said: “Thanks to my supervisors, the insectary team, and colleagues at NICD and WRIM, who made this work possible. This award is a powerful motivation for me. It reinforces my confidence that the work I’m doing truly matters to the scientific community and to global health. I’m inspired to push even further.”
