Recently, the Insectary facility at TIGS successfully hosted a 3-day workshop, ‘Beyond the Bite: Exploring Essentials of Mosquito Biology and Rearing’.
This engaging workshop combined expert talks with hands-on practical sessions, offering participants an in-depth understanding of mosquito biology, vector research, and the latest developments in the field. The workshop was attended by a diverse group of 20 participants from six different states across the country, engaging in interactive discussions and activities that covered key topics such as mosquito rearing, collection techniques, and dissections. These sessions were designed to enhance participants expertise in exploring the complex world of mosquitoes.
