Our group aims to improve the health of people and places by studying the interaction between the environment and human health.

Mosquitoes are everywhere! Protect yourself and family from bites. Check out this neat presentation based on my recent @ConversationEDU article; see more https://t.co/Rkebu92THM or check the full article https://t.co/wD6gNgFgp5 #keepmozziesaway 🦟

I chatted with the team at @NewIdeamagazine about mosquitoes and how we can minimise their pest and public health threats this summer. I can confirm none of my recent date nights “turned nasty” but the same cannot be said about the coming mozzie swarms ⛈🦟

Lots of rain in Victoria, does this mean more swarms of mosquitoes are on their way this summer? I’ll explain all with the @abcmelbourne team shortly! (Spoiler, best stock up on insect repellent)

Nice, Cam.

[Dr Cameron Webb @Mozziebites]

This is a rarely seen mosquito around Sydney that is easily confused with the common backyard mosquito (Aedes notoscriptus); Aedes mallochi is closely associated with water-filled tree holes and rarely ever a pest or public health concern #mozziesofsydney 🔬🦟

Those who grew up in the 50s and 60s witnessed the last stable climate of the Holocene. The next generation will never experience it.

Nature is good for you. It relieves stress and low mood, gets children moving and boosts the immune system. When the natural environments of our planet are feeling unwell, does our health suffer? #biodiversity #health
