Infectious Diseases and Vectors: Ecology, Genetics, Evolution, and Control (MIVEGEC)
MIVEGEC conducts integrative research on the molecular and ecological mechanisms that maintain and/or amplify the persistence and transmission of pathogens.
The topics cover a broad spectrum, combining fundamental aspects of biology, genetics, ecology, and the evolution of parasitic and symbiotic systems with more specific objectives aimed at developing tools and strategies to reduce the spread of diseases in humans and animals, particularly through integrated ecosystem management and the control of insect vectors.
This places MIVEGEC at the interface between public health and the environment, biology and medicine, ecology and evolution.
This research applies to various infectious models (parasites, viruses, bacteria, etc.) as well as models that are not strictly infectious, such as cancer.
