Animal and Human Health
Livestock and companion animals and humans, oh my! Pesky mosquitos, biting flies, ticks, and more are serious concerns for our animals and us. We research how these arthropods spread disease and how to control them.

Human and One Health
Understanding how insects and arthropods find hosts can lead to insights on how to control them. Preventing bites is a major part of protecting us. Pests occur as part of a complex web of interactions with people, animals, and the environment. The concept of One Health seeks to understand these interactions and form solutions in a broader context.

Pest Management
We research methods to reduce the burden of pest insects and arthropods using traditional and novel techniques. Many of these methods seek to reduce the use of broad-spectrum insecticides by replacing them with safer alternatives for the environment.
