About the Author
Caleb Corona received his Ph.D. degree in Entomology and Toxicology from the lab of Dr. Joel Coats, Iowa State University, where his research focused on the development of novel insecticides and spatial repellents derived from natural products. He received his B.Sc. degree in Biology with a Chemistry minor from King University in Bristol, Tennessee, where he also served as a Teaching Assistant in Chemistry and later an undergraduate research assistant for federally funded Toxicology laboratory under Dr. Vanessa Fitsanakis . He has been invited as a symposium speaker at the Society for Vector Ecology, the Entomological Society of America, and the American Chemical society multiple times over the course of his career.
Mustapha Debboun has a Ph.D. in Medical and Veterinary Entomology from the University of Missouri-Columbia, is a Board-Certified Entomologist (BCE) with the Entomological Society of America (ESA) and confirmed with the title of Fellow of the ESA. He has more than 27 years of experience in public health entomology, integrated vector management, personal protective measures, and mosquito/vector-borne diseases where this work has taken him to over 35 countries in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and South America. He is currently the General Manager of Mosquito & Vector Control District in Visalia, California. He has published over 120 peer-reviewed scientific articles and co-edited five books. Dr. Debboun organizes national and international symposia, serves on 10 journal editorial review boards, and a reviewer for eight scientific peer-reviewed journals. He is also nationally and internationally recognized for his extensive work on arthropod repellent research and development.
