How do mosquitoes transmit viruses to humans? Sarah Merkling, researcher at the Institut Pasteur and laureate of an L'Oreal-UNESCO For Women in Science Award, explains her work.
Sarah Merkling is a postdoctoral fellow in the team of Louis Lambrechts (5-year group Interactions Virus-Insects), at the Institut Pasteur (Paris). She explains her work (see video below in French) on the interactions between viruses and insects, her questions about how viruses can be transmitted from mosquitoes to humans, with the aim of creating mosquitoes that could no longer transmit viruses.
