Funded Activity Summary

Australia and the adjacent tropics are subject to incursions of exotic mosquitoes and the diseases they vector, especially dengue. The James Cook University Public Health Entomology is modernizing the control of mosquito-borne disease control in Australia. Our strategies involve using the bacteria Wolbachia to prevent dengue transmission, controlling dengue vectors using novel pesticides, and developing simple yet effective surveillance methods to detect dangerous pathogens in remote areas.
