Professor Theeraphap Chareonviriyaphap will present research on spatial repellents for mosquito control and the transmission of simian malaria at human and macaque interfaces.

The seminar will explore the effects of spatial repellents on mosquito behaviour and their potential to reduce human exposure to mosquito-borne diseases. It will also consider mosquito species composition, host-feeding behaviour, biting activity and infection rates in areas where humans and long-tailed macaques share habitats.

By combining entomological surveillance, molecular identification and ecological and spatial analysis, this work aims to identify key mosquito vectors, better understand malaria transmission and support targeted surveillance and prevention.
