I am interested in the ecology of insect-pathogen interactions, IPM and biopesticidal management of insect pests. I am studying thermoregulatory behaviour of house fly with entomopathogenic fungi infection and subsequent impact on fungal efficacy. Current research focuses on developing application, formulation and field delivery methods of fungal-based biopesticides to manage fly population in poultry facilities.
