Abstract:  Brandy is a research associate in Courtney Murdock’s lab. She will discuss her previous work investigating different aspects of malaria transmission Southeast Asia, including the transmissibility of drug-resistant malaria parasites and the feeding ecology of diverse vector species. Global malaria elimination efforts are now...
