Thongsripong Lab
Led by Panpim Thongsripong · Entomology and Nematology
What we study
The lab studies how environmental and social changes affect disease spread by mosquitoes and other vectors. They use field surveys, lab experiments, and computer models to understand host-vector interactions and microbial influences.
