Eva Buckner, PhD

Assistant Professor and State Extension Specialist
University of Florida, Florida, United States

I am an assistant professor and medical entomology state extension specialist for the University of Florida. My synergistic extension and research programs endeavor to improve integrated vector management (IVM) in Florida and beyond. The two major aims of my extension program are increasing the implementation of IVM techniques by Florida residents and improving the capacity of mosquito control programs to perform IVM, predominantly focusing on how to conduct insecticide testing and how to use resistance testing data to inform management decisions. My research program focuses on issues central to applied mosquito management, particularly the insecticide resistance of Florida populations of vectors of pathogens affecting human health. A central theme of my research is investigating the underlying mechanisms responsible for insecticide resistance in mosquitoes. Additionally, my program provides critical empirical evaluations of traditional and novel control techniques and the most effective ways to incorporate multiple control techniques within IVM programs.
In my role as the medical entomology state extension specialist, I serve as the primary contact at the University of Florida for medical entomology stakeholders in Florida, including federal and state agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and the Florida Department of Health as well as mosquito control and public health professionals, county Extension faculty, and the public.
