Virus-vector-host interactions
My aim is to decipher the specific relations between viruses and their hosts in the specific insular environment of New Caledonia. My team has conducted research to understand the phylodynamics of arbovirus in the Pacific. We are investigating dengue virus evolution in Aedes aegypti driven by Wolbachia-selective pressure, the dengue immune response and the previous exposure to infectious diseases of the specific populations of New Caledonia.
