blanka tesla - Infectious Diseases

Author Information

Blanka Tesla is affiliated with the Department of Infectious Diseases at the College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Georgia, located in Athens, GA. Her research focuses on infectious diseases, with a particular emphasis on viral interactions and the effects of temperature on virus dynamics, especially concerning the Zika virus.

Research Contributions

Blanka Tesla's research primarily explores the interactions between mosquitoes and viruses, with a strong focus on the Zika virus. Her work has extensively investigated how temperature variations influence the replication and dynamics of the Zika virus, as well as the implications for virus control and mosquito gene expression. Her studies suggest that climate change and warming temperatures could significantly increase the risk of Zika virus exposure to large populations by 2050. Her research is significant in understanding the environmental factors affecting viral transmission and developing strategies for disease control.
