About
Dr. Evdoxia G. Kakani is a leading researcher in vector control and infectious disease epidemiology, with a primary focus on innovative strategies to suppress mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue. Her major contributions center on the real-world application of the incompatible insect technique (IIT) combined with the sterile insect technique (SIT), using *Wolbachia*-infected sterile male mosquitoes to reduce *Aedes aegypti* populations. Her landmark 2024 synthetic control study in Singapore, which has already garnered 46 citations, provided compelling evidence of the effectiveness of this integrated approach in suppressing adult mosquito abundance. This work represents a critical step in translating laboratory-based vector control methods into scalable, field-proven interventions. Dr. Kakani’s research is highly influential in shaping public health policy and operational strategies for dengue prevention, and her findings are widely cited by entomologists, epidemiologists, and global health practitioners seeking sustainable, environmentally friendly alternatives to chemical insecticides.
