Luis Fernando Chaves studies diseases spread by insects and other organisms, such as malaria, dengue, Chagas disease, and leishmaniasis. His work combines field data on mosquitoes and other disease-carrying insects with mathematical and computational models to predict where these diseases occur and how environmental factors, including climate, affect their spread. Much of this research focuses on the Americas, including Panama, Venezuela, and the United States.
