This research examines how neonicotinoid pesticides affect frog immune systems, contributing to amphibian decline. Since frogs naturally control mosquito populations, their loss may increase the spread of diseases like malaria. The study aims to inform regulatory policies by linking pesticide exposure to weakened immunity, disease susceptibility, and broader public health risks.

This research investigates how ethanol improves the fitness of sterilized male mosquitoes used in the Sterile Insect Technique. By examining behavioral and genetic responses to radiation, the work aims to optimize mosquito population control strategies and reduce the spread of mosquito-borne diseases worldwide.
