DESCRIPTION:Tsetse flies transmit devastating diseases in Africa that impa
 ct human and animal health. Given that there are no vaccines to prevent m
 ammalian infections\, reducing the tsetse populations has been an effecti
 ve to block disease. Aksoy’s research has helped develop interdisciplinar
 y approaches to understand critical determinants of disease transmission 
 ranging from research on tsetse and trypanosome biology\; to population g
 enetics of tsetse\, symbionts\, and trypanosomes\; to disease epidemiolog
 y in Africa. Her research provided seminal information on tsetse physiolo
 gy and tsetse's obligate symbiosis with microbes\, and collectively ident
 ified multiple molecular targets to reduce tsetse populations. Her recent
  studies on trypanosome development processes focus on the development of
  transmission blocking approaches to curb disease at the mammalian bite s
 ite. She led an international consortium to obtain the genome sequence of
  tsetse flies\, which vastly expanded functional studies on this neglecte
 d vector and helped build scientific capacity in disease endemic laborato
 ries in Africa. YSPH values inclusion and access for all participants. If
