Biography

I have a broad background in the study of vector-borne infectious diseases, with specific training and expertise in the morphological identification of hematophagous arthropods and biological data analysis. My research focuses on estimating and updating the database of mosquitoes and other parasitic arthropods such as lice, fleas, mites, and ticks. In addition to monitoring the mosquito fauna of the region, I usually measure mosquito vectorial capacity parameters. As a co-investigator in projects financed by national and international institutions, I have laid the foundations to incriminate public places as a source of mosquito reproduction and potential areas for the transmission of arboviruses such as chikungunya, dengue, and Zika. Currently, I am making an inventory of the ectoparasites in several vertebrate animals in Yucatan with the aim of incriminating them as vectors of arboviruses.
