Petrina H. Johnson is a researcher affiliated with James Cook University, specializing in medical entomology and vector control. Her work focuses on Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and their role in dengue transmission, with an emphasis on field-based interventions.
Her research spans Wolbachia bacterial symbiosis for dengue suppression, mosquito trapping methods, insecticide resistance, and environmental factors influencing vector populations. Publications highlight collaborations with leading experts in tropical medicine and entomology.
Recent studies analyze the efficacy of insecticide-treated nets in Papua New Guinea and the genetic structure of mosquito populations to inform control strategies. She has contributed to operational frameworks like 'crash and release' protocols for Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes.
