The Gnatwork: building capacity for research on neglected vectors

What we do

The Gnatwork brings together researchers on blackflies, sandflies and biting midges from around the world to address technical issues that arise when working on small biting flies.

 

Pump-prime funding

Pump-prime funding

Over the course of the Gnatwork we will have two funding calls to support collaborative small-scale studies within the community: Validation (2018) and Transformative Science (2019)

International workshops

The Gnatwork will be hosting two international workshops (Bangladesh 2018 and Brazil 2019) over the course of the project. We will have a number of travel bursaries available to enable early career researchers to attend.
03 Dec 2018

In association with

The Ceratopogonidae Information Exchange

Hosted by Belmont University to provide information on the Dipteran family Ceratopogonidae.
