How we use our knowledge on skin bacterial volatiles to reduce mosquito bites. By influencing our skin microbiome? Read it in our opinion paper in Trends in Parasitology by @DaniLucasBarb, Alexander Mathis, Matthew DeGennaro and me. cell.com/trends/parasit…

Our first Tweet! Here we will give you updates about our Vector Entomology group at the Institute of Parasitology UZH Parasitology at the University of Zürich (University of Zurich). Hereby a picture our our PhD student David Hug catching biting #midges last field season




The book “Ecology of #diseases transmitted by #mosquitoes to #wildlife” has been published! And I have had the fortune to write one of the chapters together with Niels Verhulst Thanks for trusting me! 👉Editors: Rafael Gutiérrez-López Josué Martínez-de la Puente Professor James Logan 🏴 📖wageningenacademic.com/doi/book/10.39…


Being funded to tackle a personal problem: why do mosquitos prefer me?!? 🦟 In collaboration with @LeenDelang, Danielle Lucas Gomes Marques, Niels Verhulst and Dr Chris Callewaert, we will study how skin bacteria determine attractiveness to mosquitos. #WEAVE grant from FWO

Sweat plates with #skin #bacteria to mimic humans that are highly attractive or less attractiveness to #mosquitoes. Read about it in our latest paper from @DaniLucasBarb together with the group of Matthew DeGennaro. doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2…
