Helge Kampen

Helge Kampen is a Researcher and Laboratory Head at the Laboratory for Medical Entomology within the Institute of Infectology (IMED), part of the Friedrich Loeffler Institute. His work focuses on medical entomology, vector-borne diseases, and arthropod vectors, particularly mosquitoes and biting midges.

His research explores the role of insects in disease transmission, climate change impacts on vector distribution, and citizen science projects like the Mückenatlas (Mosquito Atlas) for surveillance. Collaborations with institutions such as the University of Hamburg and the Biologiezentrum Oberösterreichische Landesmuseen highlight his interdisciplinary approach.

Helge Kampen's publications emphasize mosquito and midge vector potential, disease ecology, and the importance of monitoring invasive species. While no scientific awards or student supervision details are listed here, his work underscores the growing public health relevance of arthropod vectors in Europe.
