As Florida enters peak mosquito season, experts from the University of Florida’s Emerging Pathogens Institute outline key mosquito species and diseases to know

Global collaborations remain a recurring theme at EPI Research Day 2024, emphasizing their impact in driving breakthroughs in infectious diseases.

UF researchers find that an aging population is behind the shift from dengue being mostly a pediatric disease to one that now predominantly affects young adults.

UF researchers use molecular tools to detect dengue virus and West Nile virus in southeastern Florida and inform mosquito control in real time.

A new study determines which household-level characteristics influence the presence of disease-carrying Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in Huaquillas, Ecuador.

New research published in Science shows that as populations of people gain immunity to dengue, it drives evolutionary pressures that select for viral evolution—and newly susceptible hosts.

Two UF researchers are helping to determine if spreading a bacteria among mosquitoes can suppress the incidence of dengue infections in people.

New work by a UF biologist uses mobility data and genetic sequencing to reconstruct how dengue viruses circulate within Thailand.

EPI's thirteenth annual research day took place yesterday, with nearly 150 poster presentations and two keynote speakers who both addressed the latest research in dengue, a growing global public health menace.

Dengue elimination may soon be within reach in Yucatán, Mexico if novel control methods are combined, according to a new study by UF researchers Ira Longini and Tom Hladish. The pair used 37 years of regional public health data to build a model which tested how unique combinations of dengue control measures perform.
