I am very interested in vector ecology and epidemiology. In particular, I have studied the effect of thermal conditions on the development of the mosquito Aedes aegypti in temperate Argentina. I am currently interesting in the study of artificial containers that can function as larval habitats of Aedes aegypti, present in the domestic environment (private homes) in Buenos Aires City. Specifically, I want to describe and analyze the characteristics of the containers in relation to aspects such as their volume, material, shape, container filling mechanism, frequency of use and utility perceived by their owners.I am very interested in vector ecology and epidemiology.
