This project investigates how ecological factors influence the microbial diversity in fleas that transmit diseases. By studying host age, grooming behavior, and flea density using advanced sequencing techniques, it aims to uncover the interactions between hosts, vectors, and their microbes, which could inform disease p…
RESEARCH
PROBLEM:
The identification of potential ecological factors that affect the dynamics between hosts, vectors, and their microbes could have a marked impact on our ability to prevent and control vector-borne diseases.
Recent studies have suggested that interactions among microbes within the individual vector may affect the density of a pathogen, and its transmission rate and virulence to the host.
However, factors that affect the microbial composition of vectors remain obscure. I will use…
