The scientific department (ESV), animated by I Morlais (DR2, IRD) and C Paupy (DR2, IRD) is structured into three research teams (DEEVA, TRIAD and VCG) regrouping most of the research expertise of MIVEGEC on insect disease vectors (e.g., mosquitoes, sandflies, triatomines) and the pathogens they transmit (viruses and parasites). Research includes fundamental studies on vectors evolutionary biology and ecology (adaptation, speciation, resistance), their interactions with hosts and pathogens, and the development and evaluation, through interventional research projects, of innovative and integrative vector control strategies.
