The Ento 24 conference was the 2024 installation of an annual conference organized by the Royal Entomological Society of the UK, that year held at the University of Liverpool. This conference brought together a broad community of entomologists to present and discuss recent advances across fundamental and applied insect science. The meeting covered diverse topics including insect ecology and behaviour, vector biology, pest management, and emerging control technologies, with contributions spanning molecular studies through to field-based applications. Particular emphasis was placed on sustainable management strategies, resistance evolution, and the impacts of environmental change on insect populations. The conference provided a platform for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and the integration of multidisciplinary approaches to address current challenges in entomology.
Postdoctoral researcher Martyn Wood gave a talk (Discovery and Screening of Novel Bacteria, their Sonicates and their Solvent Extracts against Culex pipiens molestus larvae) summarising the key findings of the initial live screens, and assays utilising inactivated bacteria in the form of sonicates and solvent extracts).
