About the course

Mosquitos transmit malaria, West Nile Virus, dengue and other serious human diseases. MSU entomologists are exploring multiple approaches to addressing these global problems including determining how mosquitos behave when confronted with different insecticides and repellents, understanding environmental factors associated with mosquito populations, and how bacteria affect mosquito development and survival.The Department of Entomology aspires to develop not only capable entomologists but also capable scholars. Scholarly potential is sought in the prospective student, and course and research programs are designed to round out the student's knowledge and bring it to the stage of development where the student can work creatively in the field.
