Last week, our team participated in the 2026 Mosquito Kolymbari Meeting. During the meeting, we organized the symposium “Advancing Microbes and Chemicals for Integrated Vector Borne Disease Control”, which brought together experts working on complementary approaches to vector control.

During the conference, Dr. Martyn Wood also presented his recent progress with a poster titled “Nature’s larvicides: Cretan Chryseobacterium as a novel mosquitocide”. Here are some photos from the symposium and poster presentation, featuring Prof. John Vontas and Dr. Wood, members of the MicroBioPest project, as well as Prof. Guido Favia and Dr. Derric Nimmo.

Thank you to everyone who joined our symposium and engaged in the discussions.
