Infectious Diseases and Vectors: Ecology, Genetics, Evolution and Control (MIVEGEC)

MIVEGEC is developing integrative research into the molecular and ecological mechanisms that maintain and/or amplify the maintenance and transmission of pathogens.

UMR 5290

The themes cover a broad spectrum, combining fundamental aspects of the biology, genetics, ecology and evolution of parasitic and symbiotic systems with the more specific objectives of developing tools and strategies to reduce the spread of diseases in humans and animals, notably through integrated ecosystem management and insect vector control.

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 to non-infectious models such as cancer.
