BAVBD contribution:
Offering expertise in biology and ecology of mosquitoes: controlling measures (integrated control, biological control - Bti, SIT) monitoring of autochthonous and invasive species, transmission of pathogens, with implementation of the OneHealth concept. Molecular identification of cryptic species.
Searching for knowledge transfer for exploration of insecticide resistance and determination of pathogens in insect vectors on molecular level.
