CAEPP
Centre for Applied Entomology, Parasites and Pathogens
The Centre for Applied Entomology, Parasites and Pathogens (CAEPP) is a world-leading interdisciplinary research centre for entomology and vector-borne diseases. Led by Professor Toby Bruce, the group demonstrates expertise across parasitology and virology, disease vectors and agricultural pests, from fundamental biology to the development of novel control strategies, interventions and new drugs. CAEPP has an ethos of equitable local, national and international partnerships and capacity building and the theme strongly links to several UN SDGs (Zero Hunger, Good Health and Well-Being, and Life on Land). CAEPP staff work with an extensive collaborative network across the UK, Africa, South America and Asia. Research in this centre has high translational impact and supports postdoctoral and postgraduate researchers both in Keele and globally. We focus on the biology and control of agriculturally important insects and the biology, transmission and pathogenesis of disease.
