Badr-Eddine Jabri, currently a PhD student in the Department of Agricultural, Forest and Food Sciences at the University of Turin. I hold an engineering degree in Agronomy and Plant Protection from the Hassan II Agronomic and Veterinary Institute in Morocco, and a Master of Science in Integrated Plant Management from the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Bari in Italy. For my engineering thesis, I studied the community of nematodes associated with banana plantations under greenhouses in Morocco and their relationship with soil characteristics. For my Master of Science thesis, I investigated the health status of Moroccan honeybee populations. My PhD research focuses on the role of vectors in the epidemiology of Flavescence dorée disease. I am currently investigating the microbial community associated with the main vector of FD and the impact of pesticide exposure on gene expression within the insect–symbiont complex.
