Overview

Charles S. Wondji is affiliated with the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine in the United Kingdom. Their research focuses primarily on medicine, with significant contributions to the fields of public health, environmental and occupational health, molecular biology, plant science, insect science, and parasitology. The main topics covered in their work include malaria research and control, mosquito-borne diseases and control, insect resistance and genetics, insect pest control strategies, parasites and host interactions, insect symbiosis and bacterial influences, as well as viral infections and vectors.

Wondji has authored numerous publications, with a notable presence in journals such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Parasites & Vectors, Research Square, Genes, and Scientific Reports. These venues reflect a consistent engagement with research at the intersection of vector biology and infectious disease control.

Recent papers include:

  • Urban malaria in sub-Saharan Africa: dynamic of the vectorial system and the entomological inoculation rate, 2021, Malaria Journal
  • Impact of insecticide resistance on malaria vector competence: a literature review, 2023, Malaria Journal
  • An Africa-wide genomic evolution of insecticide resistance in the malaria vector Anopheles funestus involves selective sweeps, copy number variations, gene conversion and transposons, 2020, PLoS Genetics
  • Cytochrome P450 metabolic resistance (CYP6P9a) to pyrethroids imposes a fitness cost in the major African malaria vector Anopheles funestus, 2020, Heredity
  • An Experimental Hut Evaluation of PBO-Based and Pyrethroid-Only Nets against the Malaria Vector Anopheles funestus Reveals a Loss of Bed Nets Efficacy Associated with GSTe2 Metabolic Resistance, 2020, Genes

Frequent co-authors include Magellan Tchouakui, Leon M. J. Mugenzi, Flobert Njiokou, Murielle J. Wondji, and Jack Hearn. These collaborations reflect a network of researchers focused on malaria vector biology and related genetic and molecular resistance mechanisms.

Wondji's work addresses key challenges in vector-borne disease control, particularly the impact of insecticide resistance on malaria transmission. Their research often incorporates molecular biology and genetics to understand resistance mechanisms, while also evaluating vector control strategies such as insecticide-treated nets.
