Ph.D. in Medical Entomology is a 3-5 year research program that focuses on insects and arthropods that affect human health. It combines entomology, epidemiology, parasitology, and molecular biology, focusing on vector-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue, Zika, and Lyme disease. The course covers vector ecology, pathogen transmission, insect physiology, and management measures. Students perform research on novel vector control strategies, pesticide resistance, and illness prevention. Graduates work in academic research, public health organizations, and the biotechnology industry, helping to control and manage vector-borne diseases, improve global health outcomes, and develop disease prevention techniques.
