14 December 2017
In the framework of Scientific Seminar held every Thursday at Institut Pasteur in Cambodia, she presented on “Diversity and relative abundance of Dengue mosquito vector in in 24 primary schools in Kampong Cham and Tboung Khmum province, Cambodia”
She showed preliminary results on diversity and density of mosquitoes trapped with CDC light and BG sentinel traps in 24 schools after 3 sessions of trapping, in May, August and November 2017.
These 24 schools have been selected to implement the field study of ECOMORE2 project. The critical result of this study is that there are no significant differences between inventories in the intervention group of schools where the integrated vector management will be implemented and the control non-intervention group.
The Integrated Vector Management will start in March 2018 in the 12 selected primary schools.
People from Malaria Consortium, from Royal University of Phnom Penh, from the National Institutes of Health and a journalist of Phnom Penh Post joined researcher and student of IPC to debate these preliminary findings
