Cameron Webb

Dr Cameron Webb is a Clinical Lecturer in Medicine at the University of Sydney's Westmead Clinical School and affiliated with the Institute of Clinical Pathology and Medical Research. His work focuses on medical entomology, particularly mosquito-borne diseases like arboviruses. He leads research on vector ecology, disease surveillance, and public health interventions. Recently, his studies have addressed Japanese encephalitis emergence, citizen science mosquito surveillance, and climate-driven disease dynamics. Dr Webb collaborates widely, including with organizations like the Sydney Infectious Diseases Institute (Sydney ID). His expertise spans vector biology, pathogen transmission, and community-based solutions to pest and public health risks. He has advised on public health strategies for mosquito control and repellent use, and his research integrates molecular biology, ecology, and spatial analysis. Key projects include investigating mosquito genetics, evaluating surveillance technologies, and understanding human-vector interactions through platforms like iNaturalist. His grants include studies on vector identification and wetland biodiversity-pest conflicts. Dr Webb actively engages in public communication via media and educational outreach, addressing topics like insect bites, head lice, and pandemic virus risks.
