- Integrated management of agricultural pests
- Novel approaches for suppressing arboviral disease vectors
Research projects
- Characterization of endosymbionts in Australian aphids
- Exploring interactions between bacterial symbionts and virus transmission for agricultural pest control
- Monitoring the Wolbachia genome and associated mtDNA variants in Aedes aegypti populations
