"Where in Rwanda Are Rift Valley Fever Mosquitoes Most Likely to Thrive?"
Abstract :
Brigitte Umutoni is a PhD researcher at UCLouvain and the University of Rwanda. Her research focuses on modelling the transmission of vector-borne zoonotic diseases, particularly Rift Valley fever (RVF) in Rwanda. In this seminar, she will present results from her first PhD study, which maps environmental suitability for Culex quinquefasciatus, a mosquito species implicated in RVF transmission in Rwanda.
