Overview

Nicole Pasteur is affiliated with the University of Montpellier in France and focuses on research spanning several interconnected fields within biology and medicine. Their research contributions primarily relate to mosquito-borne diseases, insect resistance, genetics, and insect symbiosis, viewed through a multidisciplinary lens involving public health, molecular biology, and ecology.

Their recent publications include the 2020 article titled Dynamic of resistance alleles of two major insecticide targets in Anopheles gambiae (s.l.) populations from Benin, West Africa published in Parasites & Vectors, and a 2023 paper, Investigation of Cytoplasmic Incompatibility Patterns in Culex pipiens: From Field Samples to Laboratory Isofemale Lines, which appeared in Methods in molecular biology.

The main research topics covered by Nicole Pasteur encompass:

  • Malaria Research and Control
  • Mosquito-borne diseases and control
  • Insect Resistance and Genetics
  • Insect symbiosis and bacterial influences
  • Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior
  • Plant and animal studies

Their work draws from multiple fields of study, including:

  • Medicine
  • Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology
  • Agricultural and Biological Sciences

Subfields within these areas that Nicole Pasteur has contributed to include:

  • Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health
  • Molecular Biology
  • Insect Science
  • Genetics
  • Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics

Nicole Pasteur frequently collaborates with several coauthors. Among them are Mylène Weill, with whom they have published multiple papers, Benoît Sessinou Assogba, Patrick Makoundou, Sandra Unal, and Lamine Saïd Baba-Moussa.

Their publications have appeared mainly in the journals Parasites & Vectors and Methods in molecular biology, which reflect a focus on the biological and methodological aspects of vector-borne disease research and molecular approaches to entomology.
