Product development: Validation of individual assays for the ArboVec-Disk for species ID, insecticide resistance traits and pathogens/symbionts

We will develop novel diagnostics using low-cost platforms to allow the easier characterisation of cryptic species composition, insecticide resistance and coinfection status. By month 18 individual assays will have been shown to have the potential to affect the ability of vector insects to transmit pathogens and which are typically not reflected in artificial infection study design.
