OverviewAI-generated summary

Blythe E Lawson's research focuses on the application of novel compounds for vector control, with a particular emphasis on insecticidal and larvicidal properties. Lawson has investigated the efficacy of fluralaner, a topical and contact insecticide, against adult biting midges (Culicoides spp.). Further work has explored the microencapsulation of fluralaner using yeast, evaluating its potential as a larvicide for mosquito control. Comparisons have been made between this yeast-encapsulated fluralaner and commercially available mosquito larval control products. Lawson's work involves collaborations with Emily G McDermott and Cierra Briggs.
