Alvin Meyabeme

Alvine received her master in Hydrobiology in 2003 at the University of Yaoundé I, Cameroon, and is specialised in water quality and the biology of aquatic environments.

She joined our working group in 2007 to investigate biological measures of mosquito control. Her PhD project was to test the effects of biological processes and pesticide exposure on aquatic stages of mosquito populations. She conducted multispecies tests under controlled conditions in outdoor microcosms and did field investigation to elucidate the physicochemical and biological habitat preferences of mosquitos.
