Overview

Richard C. Russell is affiliated with the University of Sydney in Australia, where their research spans fields including Medicine and Agricultural and Biological Sciences. Their work intersects several subfields such as Infectious Diseases, Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health, Plant Science, Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis, and Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics.

Their research covers a variety of topics focused primarily on mosquito-borne diseases and control, dermatological diseases and infestations, and insect pest control strategies. Additional focal points include interactions between insects and parasites, entomological studies and ecology, pesticide exposure and toxicity, as well as dengue and mosquito control research.

Among their recent papers are the following publications:

  • 30 years of samples submitted to an Australian Medical Entomology Department, 2020, Austral Entomology
  • Aircraft disinsection: what is the usefulness as a public health measure?, 2020, Journal of Travel Medicine
  • A Celebration of the Career of Dr. William E. Walton September 1, 1956 - October 18, 2020, 2021, Journal of Vector Ecology
  • Description of the fourth-instar larva of Coquillettidia linealis (Diptera: Culicidae), 2020, Austral Entomology
  • Evolution, population structure and morphology of the African Black Duck Anas sparsa and Yellow-billed Duck A. undulata, 2025, Ostrich

Frequent coauthors in their research include:

  • Merilyn J Geary
  • Leendert Moerkerken
  • Assareh Mohammad Hassan
  • Stephen L. Doggett
  • Andrea Grout

Publishing consistently in venues such as Austral Entomology, Journal of Travel Medicine, Journal of Vector Ecology, and Ostrich, their work reflects a sustained contribution to the fields of entomology, public health, and biological sciences.
