Abstract

In this talk, I will briefly present the lift cycle of malaria, discuss some basic malaria mathematical models and effects of environmental changes on the transmission dynamics of malaria, the new technique of genetically-altered mosquitoes, and mathematical modeling of the impact of releasing genetically altered mosquitoes in preventing the transmission of malaria
