**Project Title**: Mechanical transmission of pathogens by mosquitoes

**Project Details**

While the role of vectors in the biological transmission of pathogens is well-characterized, the mechanical transmission of mosquito pathogens remains poorly understood. This project aims to address key gaps in our understanding of the potential vector based mechanical transmission of the bacterium Mycobacterium ulcerans (the causative agent of Buruli ulcer) and other mosquito-borne viruses, such as dengue virus and Japanese encephalitis virus.

This PhD opportunity involves accessing ACDP's high-containment area and utilising entomology techniques alongside traditional molecular and virology methods. By adopting a One Health approach, this project will enhance our understanding of these pathogens, leading to more targeted diagnostics, treatment, and prevention strategies.
