The Dimopoulos Group is an international team of scientists, that study mosquitoes wich transmit human pathogens such as malaria parasites and denue virus, as part to their postdoctoral training, or PhD and master degree thesis research. George Dimopoulos, PhD MBA, Professor / Group Leader. George has lead his group since 2003. He has worked on mosquito vector biology since 1991, and pioneered with several discoveries in mosquito-pathogen interactions, innate immunity and microbiota. Jenny is studying the.

Jenny Carlson joined the team as a PD after graduating from UC Davis where she studied the vector competence of Culicine mosquitoes for bird malaria. Jenny has extensive field entomology expertise from her graduate work. In the Dimopoulos group she will study the mosquito microbiota and how it may cause a trans-stadial immune priming. Jenny will also characterize the larvicidal and mosquitocidal activity of. In a semi-field faciliy in Zambia. Hannah MacLeod joined the team as a PhD graduate student.

Malaria is transmitted by anopheline mosquitoes and caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium. Dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever are caused by dengue viruses that belong to the Flavivirus genus. Four antigenically distinct serotypes exist (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4) and they are spread by Aedes. Mosquitoes. The Aedes aegypti. Is the most common dengue vector while Aedes albopictus. The mosquito vector immune system plays an importnat role in regulating susceptibility to human pat...
