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

Over the course of the Gnatwork, we have run three funding calls to support collaborative small-scale studies within the community.

International workshops

The Gnatwork hosted two international workshops (Bangladesh 2018 and Brazil 2019) over the course of the project.
