Overview

Frédéric Simard is affiliated with the University of Montpellier in France and has focused their research primarily within the fields of Medicine and Agricultural and Biological Sciences. Their scholarly contributions span several important subfields, including Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health, Infectious Diseases, Insect Science, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, and Plant Science.

Their research topics cover a range of areas predominantly centered on mosquito-borne diseases and control. This includes work on Malaria Research and Control, Viral Infections and Vectors, Insect Symbiosis and Bacterial Influences, Insect Pest Control Strategies, Zoonotic Diseases and Public Health, and Vector-Borne Animal Diseases.

Simard's recent publications illustrate a focus on vector control and the impact of invasive species. Key papers include:

  • "Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) against Aedes Species Mosquitoes: A Roadmap and Good Practice Framework for Designing, Implementing and Evaluating Pilot Field Trials," 2021, published in Insects
  • "The rising global economic costs of invasive Aedes mosquitoes and Aedes-borne diseases," 2024, published in The Science of The Total Environment
  • "Invasive hematophagous arthropods and associated diseases in a changing world," 2023, published in Parasites & Vectors
  • "Strategic Approach, Advances, and Challenges in the Development and Application of the SIT for Area-Wide Control of Aedes albopictus Mosquitoes in Reunion Island," 2020, published in Insects
  • "On the need for integrating cancer into the One Health perspective," 2021, published in Evolutionary Applications

Frequent collaborators in Simard's research include Nicolas Moiroux, Roch K. Dabiré, Karine Mouline, Didier Fontenille, and David Roiz. These coauthors reflect collaborative efforts that have contributed to advancing knowledge in their shared focus areas.

The scientist's work appears regularly in several key publication venues with multiple contributions to Parasites & Vectors, Peer Community Journal, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Insects, and The Science of The Total Environment.
