Bio

I am a medical entomologist with more than 15 years of research experience in the field of parasitology and vector-borne diseases. I intend to extend my research to study vector immunology involved in pathogen survival and transmission, vector-borne parasitic diseases, surveillance of Leishmaniasis, biology and life cycle of Leishmania parasite, sandfly taxonomy, and vector-parasite interactions.
