Overview

Amy C. Morrison is affiliated with the University of California, Davis in the United States. Their research work primarily focuses on medicine, with a significant emphasis on public health, environmental and occupational health. They have contributed extensively to the fields of infectious diseases, sociology and political science, modeling and simulation, and plant science.

Their main research topics include mosquito-borne diseases and control, viral infections and vectors, malaria research and control, COVID-19 epidemiological studies, dengue and mosquito control research, insect pest control strategies, and insect symbiosis and bacterial influences.

Recent publications by Morrison include the following:

  • Efficacy of a spatial repellent for control of Aedes-borne virus transmission: A cluster-randomized trial in Iquitos, Peru (2022), published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • Spatial repellents: The current roadmap to global recommendation of spatial repellents for public health use (2022), published in Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases
  • Optimizing the deployment of ultra-low volume and targeted indoor residual spraying for dengue outbreak response (2020), published in PLoS Computational Biology
  • Knowledge gaps in the epidemiology of severe dengue impede vaccine evaluation (2021), published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases
  • Characterizing dengue transmission in rural areas: A systematic review (2023), published in PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases

Morrison frequently publishes in venues such as PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, PLoS Computational Biology, and UNC Libraries.

Collaborations are notable with coauthors including Thomas W. Scott, Helvio Astete, Valerie A. Paz-Soldán, Gonzalo M. Vazquez-Prokopec, and Robert C. Reiner, indicating a network of frequent research partners.
