NATO Science for Peace and Security Programme, Multi-Year Project: "Novel Compounds to Limit Mosquito-borne Pathogens and Associated Infections" – Project code G5701
Description
The project developed and evaluated novel compounds to limit mosquito-borne pathogens and associated infections, combining molecular research on mosquito biting with the assessment of candidate deterrents and their environmental impact.
Role of our laboratory
Structural and biophysical characterization of mosquito salivary targets and candidate compounds intended to reduce biting and pathogen transmission.
