Amity Institute of Pharmacy (AIP), Amity University Madhya Pradesh(AUMP) had organized a seminar on the topic “Utilization of molecular tools and techniques to decode the molecular complexity of mosquito parasite interaction and malaria transmission” on 5th June 2021 between 02:30PM to 03:30PM, . The seminar was be coordinated by Mrs. Monika Kaushik, Assistant Professor, AIP, AUMP. Opening Remarks of the session were given by Director Sir, AIP Dr. Prof AN Nagappa sir. The guest speaker of the seminar was Dr. Rajnikant Dixit working as Scientist at National Institute of Malaria Research ICMR New Delhi, India
Dr. Rajnikant Dixit has initiated the session by emphasizing on the Utilization of molecular tools and techniques to decode the molecular complexity of mosquito parasite interaction and malaria transmission. Dr. Rajnikant Dixit provided the basic information about decoding and understanding that how the sex-specific behavioral biology of mosquito feeding, mating, breeding, and immunity affecting vectorial competency and malaria transmission. He had also discussed about existing strategy of malaria control in India, Indian malarial vector complexity, new innovative tools for vector control that help to improve the lives. He also discussed how molecular changes of P.vivax facilitate its survival and effect the treatment.
There were a total of 418 registrations for the event and out of which 155 participants attended the event. After the presentation by the guest speaker the talk was followed by question and answer session. The vote of thanks was given by the Mrs. Monika Kaushik.
