Tick biology and strategies to reduce pathogen transmission PV-24-002

Biomedicine, MedTech and HealthBiotechnologies and Microorganisms

Study of tick biology and the processes affecting tick survival, reproduction, blood feeding and the transmission of disease-causing agents. Collaboration may include testing interventions aimed at reducing blood feeding, digestion, reproduction or pathogen transmission, including RNAi and gene expression experiments, with potential application in the development of antiparasitic solutions.
