Research Interests

Parasites, vectors and their biocontrol in a safety and ecologically way.

I am interested in infectious diseases and how they might be treated by the control of their vectors. During my PhD, I will study deeply how to develop biologically and ecologically safe insecticides against Aedes Aegypti. Further research interests include the biocontrol of other agricultural pests such as Drosophila suzukii.
