Antoine Perrin

Dr. Antoine Perrin is a Researcher in the Department of Ecology and Evolution at the University of Lausanne. His work focuses on the ecological impacts of landscape changes on host-parasite interactions, particularly regarding mosquitoes and vector-borne diseases. He investigates how habitat fragmentation and human-modified landscapes influence parasite and vector communities, with direct implications for wildlife conservation and human health.

His postdoctoral research under the Christe Group examines mosquito responses to land-use changes, addressing questions about local abundance, alpha diversity, and landscape connectivity effects on beta diversity. Current affiliations include the Biophore research facility in Lausanne, where he holds office room 3211.

Research interests span ecological epidemiology, vector ecology, and conservation biology, with a focus on linking landscape structure to disease dynamics. Key projects include global meta-analyses on anthropogenic impacts and studies of migratory bird parasite spread. His work bridges empirical field studies with theoretical models to predict disease emergence risks in altered ecosystems.

Publications highlight contributions to understanding mosquito community shifts under urbanization, deforestation, and agricultural pressures. He has also explored synergies between amphibian populations and mosquito suppression in modified landscapes. No scientific awards are listed, but his active research portfolio demonstrates impactful contributions to ecological and medical entomology.

Dr. Perrin collaborates with international teams and utilizes genetic approaches to study host-parasite coevolution. His current projects aim to inform land management strategies that mitigate disease risks while preserving biodiversity.
