EXTENDED: The Invasive Mosquito Threatening to Worsen Malaria in Africa (with Eric Ochomo and Seth Irish)

An invasive mosquito species, Anopheles stephensi, is threatening to redefine malaria in Africa. In this episode, we speak to Eric Ochomo from the Kenya Medical Research Institute, and Seth Irish from the World Health Organization, about the rise of the Anopheles stephensi in Africa. We discuss why the mosquito is in Africa, what this means for malaria, and—more importantly—what can be done.
