Eric Denison

Research Assistant

Arthropod in vitro Culture, Entomology

Eric has worked for over forty years at Pirbright on the production of biting midges, mosquitoes and ticks. His expertise underpins Pirbright’s ability to stay at the forefront of studies around these arthropods and the viruses they transmit by providing them in excellent condition, at defined stages in their lifecycle and throughout the year, whatever the season. His knowledge across insect husbandry is a major resource for all group members and for scientists both in the UK and overseas which we share as part of our commitment to national capability in this area. Eric currently produces over 95% of colonised biting midges used in research worldwide provided to industrial and academic users.
