Nigel Beebe

Prof. Nigel Beebe is Professor at the University of Queensland's School of the Environment, specializing in mosquito genetics and vector-borne disease control. His research examines mosquito evolution, population genetics, and biological control methods.

Key research areas include Wolbachia-based vector control strategies, population genomics of invasive mosquito species, and genetic approaches to disease prevention. Recent publications analyze Aedes aegypti fitness in Wolbachia intervention programs, population structure of invasive Aedes albopictus in Europe, and cryptic species discovery in Australasian arbovirus vectors.

Research combines field studies with advanced molecular techniques to develop novel vector control solutions for dengue, malaria, and other mosquito-borne diseases.
