Diana Lowe (Telling lab), Elena Lian (Jackson lab) and Jebrail Dempsey (Hemming-Schroeder & Foy labs), were each awarded a 2024-25 VPR Graduate fellowship.

Researchers at Colorado State University are conducting a field study that will test a new method to control the transmission of West Nile virus around households in Northern Colorado and are looking for households volunteering to participate.

CSU’s One Health Institute recently announced the selection of two CSU faculty One Health pilot projects and four students for the first Student One Health awards.

CSU professors Brian Foy and Gregg Dean explore if a vaccine based on a bacterium found in yogurt could help slow the spread of West Nile virus after Colorado saw its worst West Nile season since the early-2000s.

Insect-borne disease researcher Brian Foy provides insights as to why West Nile virus appears to be more prevalent in Northern Colorado.

Molly Ring of the Foy Lab wins Best in Show for her Oral Presentation on “The Role of Niemann-Pick Type C2 (NPC2) Genes During Ivermectin Blood Meal Response in Mosquito Plasmodium Vectors” at the CURC showcase.

Brian Foy and his colleagues may have hit upon a way to dramatically reduce the spread of West Nile virus by using ivermectin to turn hungry birds into passive assassins.

Researchers at the University of California, Davis and Colorado State University have found evidence that adding ivermectin to backyard bird feeders has potential to reduce local transmission of West Nile virus in the U.S.

Brian Foy has been studying ivermectin for nearly a decade, long before it became a hot topic in the United States.
