What is it about?
I specialize in medical entomology with a focus on mosquito ecology and control. My work focuses on how the environmental factors affect mosquito populations and disease risk. I also develop and evaluate integrated control strategies, including natural biocides and advanced formulations, to support sustainable and effective mosquito management.

Why is it important?
This specialization is important because mosquitoes are major vectors of diseases that threaten public health worldwide. Understanding their ecology and environmental drivers allows us to predict population dynamics and assess disease risk. Developing integrated and sustainable control strategies helps reduce mosquito populations, limit the spread of vector-borne diseases, and minimize environmental impact.
Perspectives
From my personal perspective, this publication is valuable because it aligns closely with my research interests in medical entomology, mosquito ecology, and vector control. The study contributes valuable knowledge to a deeper understanding of mosquito biology, while also highlighting how certain environmental wastes, whether agricultural or industrial, can be transformed into new products suitable for mosquito control. Furthermore, the research idea helps in developing sustainable strategies for managing vector-borne diseases. Its findings are relevant to both scientific research and practical public health applications, making it an important contribution to the field.
