Michael Reddy’s main research interests include malaria and arboviral disease ecology; mosquito vector population dynamics; and anti-vector intervention design and implementation. Mr. Reddy is presently involved in a multi-agency collaborative effort with officials from the Equatorial Guinea Ministry of Health, the Marathon Oil Corporation and Medical Care Development International, seeking to establish an ongoing entomological surveillance program designed to alert and inform intervention efforts to prevent epidemic transmission of malaria within mainland Equatorial Guinea. Ultimately, Mr. Reddy wishes to contribute to a more detailed understanding of the eco-epidemiological determinants of mosquito-borne disease transmission in domestic and international settings.
