Research Themes
Host Preference of mosquito vectors
I emphasize that blood feeding behavior by mosquitoes, and their successive resting behaviors, may be largely influenced by environmental factors in addition to their innate features.
Chemical analysis of larval diet of African malaria vectors, Anopheles gambiae complex
Siginificance of Mushroom Posion
A wide variety of secondary metabolites occur in fungi and several are toxic to both invertebrates and vertebrates. The evolutionary history and ecological role of fungal toxins, however, remains largely unexplored.
