Legacy Symposium: Mosquitopia? The Place of Pests in a Healthy World

October 2019

This three-day symposium brought together scientists and humanists to assess how mosquitoes can better coexist with people. Our strategy was to identify major categories of mosquito-human relationships, and enrich them from multiple perspectives, especially history, anthropology, and ethics as well as entomology, molecular biology, and health sciences.

The 2018 infoclio.ch conference focuses on the human and non-human traces that bear witness to our relationship with the environment.
