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

We are excited to announce our final funding call, the Gnatwork Community Call. The vote is now closed and you will soon be able to apply to conduct one of the projects.

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.
