Biology, ecology, behavior and control of insects that affect man and animals.
Pests studied: house flies, stable flies, horn flies, face flies, cat fleas, mosquitoes.
Studies include: dispersal of flies, behavior of flies and fleas, design of traps for control offlies and fleas, biological control of flies, filth flies as vectors of animal pathogens, control of flies by conventional and novel techniques, surveillance for WNV vectors
Biology, ecology, behavior and management of insects and other arthropod pests of livestock.
Ecology, Biology, and Control of Insects Affecting Man and Animals.
My major research interests are with flies of veterinary importance, especially stable flies (Stomoxys calcitrns), face flies (Musca autumnalis), house flies (M. domestica), and horn flies (Haematobia irritans).
In addition, I conduct research on cat fleas
