The Vector Biology Research Group is concerned about all aspects of the transmission of disease pathogens to man and animals.  Areas of interest include vector ecology and behaviour, vector-pathogen interactions, parasitology and vector control. The group currently includes one spin-out company, In-Phage Ltd., which is developing novel forms of pest control.
