OverviewAI-generated summary
Emily G McDermott's research focuses on the identification and control of insect vectors that transmit diseases to animals and humans. Her work investigates the vector status of North American Culicoides midges for bluetongue and epizootic hemorrhagic disease viruses, and explores modern genomic tools for advancing arbovirus research. G McDermott also studies mosquito attraction to sound for potential vector surveillance applications and compares the efficacy of different mosquito traps and attractants in urban and suburban environments. Her research extends to evaluating the susceptibility of biting midges and mosquitoes to various insecticides and toxic bait formulations. G McDermott has published 36 papers, with 455 citations, and holds an h-index of 11. She frequently collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Cassandra H Steele, Cierra Briggs, Blythe E Lawson, and Kelly Loftin.
