Controlling vector-borne diseases is a serious challenge facing the world today. The introduction and spread of West Nile virus, and the mortality and morbidity caused by malaria and Dengue virus are examples of why vigilant and active research continues to be important worldwide.

The Mosquito Control Research Laboratory, under the direction of Dr. Anthony J. Cornel, focuses on the biology, molecular biology and population genetics of disease vectors.  This information is used to provide sustained methods for their control.
