Health Equity/Research Interest

I study the biology, ecology, behavior and control of mosquitoes and ticks that transmit human pathogens. For over 20 years, I have worked on the biology of mosquito vectors of dengue fever, West Nile virus and malaria. For the past 5 years, I have served as director of the Northeast Regional Center for Excellence in Vector-Borne Diseases (NEVBD) with a focus on addressing pressing questions in vector biology and control in the NE USA. We work with, have access to, a diversity of professionals and communities from Virginia north to ME in the areas of public health entomology and vector borne disease epidemiology and control.

Expertise/Goals

We are interested in collaborators working on public health education and messaging.
