Sarah M. Short's research focuses on the biology of mosquitoes, particularly Aedes aegypti (the yellow fever mosquito), examining how bacteria and parasites living in and on these insects affect their immune systems, development, and overall health. This work has relevance to understanding and potentially controlling mosquito-borne diseases by studying the microbial communities mosquitoes carry and how factors like blood feeding, mating, and infection shape their biology.
