This grant opportunity is for research aimed at understanding how pathogens interact with the organisms (vectors) that transmit them, with the goal of preventing disease spread. It seeks innovative methods such as manipulating pathogens within vectors, using genetic engineering, or employing organisms that live in vectors to find new intervention points. The ultimate objective is to create environmentally safe strategies that do not lead to resistance.

This NOSI invites applications for research to understand pathogen/vector interactions to prevent pathogen transmission. It focuses on novel approaches like targeting pathogens within vectors, using transgenics, vector symbionts, and 'omics data to identify targets. The goal is to develop enviro… Show More
