Eric Calvo - Infectious Diseases

Author Information

Eric Calvo is a researcher affiliated with the Laboratory of Malaria and Vector Research at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health, located in Rockville, Maryland, USA. His work predominantly focuses on vector-borne diseases, particularly those related to mosquitoes and other vectors that are crucial in the transmission of infectious agents like malaria and arboviruses.

Research Contributions

Eric Calvo has made significant contributions to the understanding of vector biology and the mechanisms of disease transmission through his research. His studies often explore the molecular interactions between vectors, such as mosquitoes, and the pathogens they transmit, including the Zika virus, Plasmodium species, and other arboviruses. His work includes investigations into the role of salivary proteins in facilitating blood feeding and modulating host immune responses. Recent publications demonstrate his focus on the structural and functional characterization of these proteins, which could pave the way for new strategies in vector control and disease prevention.
