My research focuses on understanding and predicting how life history strategies enable parasites to quickly respond to disease control methods, and what the consequences are for the efficacy of disease control.
I am investigating how and why malaria parasites show daily developmental rhythms inside their hosts. I want to know whether parasites use host rhythms to tell the time.
I am a postgraduate research assistant with a background in Ecology, Mycology and Entomology. Currently, I am investigating the importance of biological rhythms for the survival and transmission of malaria parasites.
