New publication from our lab in CRPVBD (Elsevier).
We show how discarded tyres along a ~200 km long transport corridor (Panitanki–Barobisha) in sub-Himalayan West Bengal act as key breeding hotspots for Aedes.

Honoured to see our latest study featured on the front page of The Telegraph. Our research highlights how discarded tyres along major transport corridors are acting as hotspots for Aedes mosquito breeding, increasing dengue transmission risk. Read more: https://t.co/LCj8o10Sxc
From reading Prof. John Vontas’ papers while shaping my PhD work…......to discussing my own research with him in person at the conference.........an experience I’ll never forget.
Presented my work at the 18th SOMA Conference hosted by Central University of Tamil Nadu. Had wonderful interactions with stalwarts in vector control research, learned a lot, and truly enjoyed the discussions. And yes… the filter coffee made it even better ☕
I had a great time presenting my work at the National Conference on Technologies for Mitigation of Disease Vectors and Other Jungle Hazards, organized by DRL-DRDO, Tezpur. Grateful for the opportunity and warm hospitality. @DRDO_India
Happy to share that our work is now published in The Journal of Basic and Applied Zoology.........We evaluated the susceptibility of Culex quinquefasciatus from northern Bengal against different synthetic and botanical insecticides.
Our recent article on insecticide susceptibility patterns in _Culex quinquefasciatus_, a key vector of lymphatic filariasis, has been published today in The Journal of Basic and Applied Zoology! #mosquitocontrol#vectorborne#zoology

#WorldMosquitoDay2025 dengue awareness programme organised by Siliguri Municipal Corporation & North Bengal Science Centre: from our lab, we have demonstrated to school kids how to identify Aedes mosquitoes and made them aware of their habitats & how to stay safe.
Resistance to organophosphate and pyrethroid and their underlying mechanism in #Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) from dengue endemic sub-Himalayan West Bengal, India https://t.co/Tu7bI4fctU JMedEnt
Happy to share that my first research paper is published in the Journal of Medical Entomology. We report metabolic resistance to temephos & deltamethrin in Ae. albopictus from sub-Himalayan West Bengal, India. Grateful to all the co-authors @EntsocAmerica https://t.co/XzkzGN57fN
Wild Culex quinquefasciatus from sub-Himalayan West Bengal show overexpression of P450 & esterase genes, driving pyrethroid resistance 🦟⚠️

My first publication....prepared during my Ph.D. coursework! This review highlights key target site mutations (kdr, ace, rdl, nAChR) and detection methods, emphasizing the need for scalable tools to monitor insecticide resistance in mosquitoes effectively. #VectorControl
Our new publication, 'Target site-mediated insecticide resistance in major mosquito🦟 vectors: A systematic review', has been published in the Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical medicine 💊. Check it out! #PhDVoice
