Brian W. Bahder

I obtained a bachelors degree in entomology from the University of Delaware and a masters degree from the University of Florida, specializing in termite biology. I obtained my PhD from Washington State University where I studied mealybug biology and their role in transmitting viruses in wine and juice grapes. Currently, I am an assistant professor in entomology at the University of Florida where I focus insect vector ecology in tropical plants. My main research interest is palm-infecting phytoplasmas and their management.
