Cameron Webb

Dr. Cameron Webb is a Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Sydney's School of Medical Science and Principal Hospital Scientist at NSW Health Pathology's Department of Medical Entomology. His research investigates environmental management approaches to reducing risks of mosquito-borne diseases in changing urban landscapes.

He holds a PhD from the University of Sydney and a Bachelor of Science from Macquarie University. Dr. Webb's work examines how wetland conservation, urban development, climate change, and exotic mosquito introductions influence disease transmission dynamics.

Research priorities include:

• Mosquito ecology and habitat management
• Emerging arboviral threats (e.g., Japanese encephalitis)
• Climate change impacts on disease vectors
• Public health interventions and community protection
• Insect repellent efficacy testing

He translates research through extensive media engagement and public health advisories, particularly during outbreaks of diseases like Japanese encephalitis and Ross River virus.
