The Team

The Institute of Vector-Borne Disease (IVBD) falls within the Office of the Provost and Senior Vice-President. The primary purpose of the Institute is to spearhead the University’s research efforts in eliminating diseases such as dengue fever and Zika virus. The Institute is home to dedicated laboratory facilities, including a large BSL2 and BSL3 insectary. The Institute houses the World Mosquito Program (WMP) within Monash University, an international collaborative research program designed to prevent the transmission of arboviral diseases threatening the health of people living in tropical and subtropical regions and aims to improve global health whilst significantly reducing the financial burden on local health systems in these regions.
