Louisa Messenger (Environmental and Occupational Health) co-published a paper titled, "Identification of two insecticide resistance markers in Ethiopian Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes using a multiplex amplicon sequencing assay," in the journal Scientific Reports.

The expansion of Anopheles stephensi poses a significant threat to malaria control and elimination efforts. Researchers present a next-generation amplicon-sequencing approach, for high-throughput monitoring of insecticide resistance genes, species identification and characterization in An. stephensi.
