Infectious Diseases and Vectors: Ecology, Genetics, Evolution, and Control (MIVEGEC)
MIVEGEC conducts integrative research on the molecular and ecological mechanisms that sustain and/or amplify the persistence and transmission of pathogens.
The research topics cover a broad spectrum, ranging from fundamental aspects of biology, genetics, ecology, and the evolution of parasitic and symbiotic systems to more applied objectives aimed at developing tools and strategies capable of reducing the spread of diseases in humans and animals, particularly through integrated ecosystem management and the control of insect vectors.
This places MIVEGEC at the intersection of public health and the environment, biology and medicine, and ecology and evolution.
This research applies to various infectious models (parasites, viruses, bacteria, etc.) as well as to non-infectious models such as cancer.
