OverviewAI-generated summary

Emily G McDermott is an Assistant Professor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. Her research focuses on vector-borne diseases and the ecology and behavior of disease vectors, primarily insects and ticks. She has investigated the vector status of Culicoides midges for bluetongue virus and other arboviruses, and studied mosquito attraction to sound for surveillance purposes. Her work also includes assessing the susceptibility of biting midges and mosquitoes to various chemical agents, such as fluralaner and sodium ascorbate toxic sugar baits. Additionally, her research has examined the prevalence of Ehrlichia and Anaplasma spp. in ticks collected from livestock and wildlife in Arkansas. McDermott collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Cassandra H Steele and Cierra Briggs, on shared publications. She has an h-index of 11 with over 400 citations across 33 publications.
