Vector Biology
We research insects that transmit disease to support the control and elimination of vector-borne infections.
Our leading global research looks into the insects that transmit diseases such as malaria, dengue and Zika. We study the genetics, behaviour and ecology of vectors to understand how infections spread and evolve.
Through large-scale collaborations across Africa, Asia and Latin America, we develop and evaluate innovative tools to monitor, control, and ultimately eliminate vector-borne diseases.
