Dr Ashley Burke is an entomologist with over a decade of research experience focused on malaria vector mosquitoes and their role in disease transmission across sub-Saharan Africa. Her work centres on developing and evaluating innovative vector control tools that complement existing interventions. She believes that a deep understanding of mosquito biology, behaviour, and insecticide resistance is key to refining strategies for more effective malaria control and moving closer to elimination.

Dr Burke’s research spans mosquito surveillance, seasonal physiology, parasite incrimination of overlooked vectors, insecticide resistance monitoring, and novel interventions such as endectocides. As the Communications and Marketing Officer on the Local Organizing Committee for ICE 2028, she is committed to strengthening the visibility and promotion of African scientists at this prestigious international congress.
