Description of the research topic:
"Would you like to join an exciting ecological field research to potentially prevent pathogen spread? In this project, you can work with researchers who are committed to preventing epidemics and gaining a deeper understanding of ecosystems. The project involves not only laboratory work, but you can also get out into the field to collect mosquito and host samples. You can also take part in citizen science, where you can help collect data and contribute to research through community participation. In the laboratory, you can participate in molecular pathogen screening, where you will have access to technologies that allow state-of-the-art testing, and be part of international publications and projects.
In research, you will work as part of a dynamic and inspiring team where creativity and collaboration are key. As part of the team, you will learn from experienced researchers and share ideas, while contributing your own expertise to the project. As part of the research, you will be able to analyse factors affecting the occurrence of pathogens using computer models and take part in exciting spatial data analyses. Your work will make a significant contribution to global efforts to prevent epidemics.
The main theme is to investigate the complex dynamics of mosquito-borne diseases, focusing on ecological and environmental determinants and the reservoir competence of potential hosts. The aim of the research is to advance our understanding of the spread of diseases such as dirofilariosis and West Nile fever in wildlife and mosquitoes, in particular how ecological factors influence the dynamics and occurrence of transmission.
