Richard WALL

Richard Wall is a veterinary entomologist who works on the ecology and sustainable control of arthropod ectoparasites and vectors and their impact on animal health and welfare. He is Professor of Zoology and teaches entomology and parasitology to biology and veterinary undergraduates and heads a research group working on a wide range of ectoparasites, particularly ticks, lice, mange mites and blowflies. Current work includes studies of the impacts of climate and climate change on patterns of arthropod abundance and the use of essential oils as novel approaches to arthropod control.
