What they do

Yale School of Public Health researchers conduct field trials of new malaria tools, including the Cytophone, a noninvasive malaria detection device developed by CytoAstra.1 Yale researchers also evaluate repeated ivermectin treatment as a way to reduce mosquito transmission and are developing xenosurveillance, which uses mosquito blood meals to track malaria parasites and drug resistance alongside vector metrics.1 Their U.S. R&D is based in New Haven, Connecticut.2,1 The work is in the discovery and development stage.1
