Mosquitoes spread dangerous illnesses like malaria, West Nile virus, and dengue fever. Entomology researchers at MSU are investigating various strategies to combat these worldwide health threats, such as studying mosquito reactions to different pesticides and repellents, analyzing environmental influences on mosquito populations, and examining how bacteria impact mosquito growth and mortality. The Entomology Department aims to cultivate not just skilled entomologists but well-rounded academics. They look for academic promise in applicants and structure coursework and research initiatives to expand students' expertise, preparing them to make innovative contributions to the field.
