Mosquitoes have become increasingly resistant to insecticides used for public health, thus compromising mosquito control efforts. However, these processes have not been fully understood. DPDM research demonstrated that insecticide exposure impacts bacteria that colonize mosquitoes (the mosquito microbiota). The presence of insecticide-metabolizing bacteria in resistant mosquitoes could potentially be used to predict insecticide resistance in the field.

CNN interview.
As part of one of CDC groups that led global Zika vector control efforts, we were interviewed by CNN, during which I demonstrated and answered questions on how to test mosquito populations for susceptibility to insecticides.
No more mosquitoes?
Interview by Scholastic ScienceWorld.
I was interviewed by Scholastic ScienceWorld about my work on mosquito biology and insecticide resistance, its evolution and impact on mosquito vector populations, as well as ways that we are monitoring and mitigating its spread.
