Alex Richter-Boix

Technician

Scientific coordinator of the E4Warning project and part of the Mosquito Alert team. PhD in biology, expert in evolutionary ecology and population genetics, with extensive experience in field work and the design of quantitative genetics experiments. Much of my research has focused on amphibians and their ecological adaptations to temporary aquatic environments.

I am currently working on Mosquito Alert projects focusing on the ecology of invasive mosquitoes and disease vectors. This experience has allowed me to acquire knowledge in citizen science practices, scientific communication, innovation and open science, both in national and international projects.

PROJECTS

The great heterogeneity in individual behavior as well as between different groups translates into a variability in human-mosquito interaction, and therefore in a variability in the risk of disease transmission. This relationship not only depends on the density of mosquitoes and people in an area but on many other factors.
E4Warning is an holistic approach to improve our understanding of the interplay between humans, mosquitoes, reservoir species and the environment for a better disease intelligence capable of anticipating and identifying mosquito-borne diseases epidemic risk and outbreaks.
