佐治亚州肯尼索州立大学获国立卫生研究院 51.7956 万美元三年期资助：研究 PFAS 对蚊虫与病毒传播的影响
佐治亚州消息，肯尼索州立大学研究人员安德鲁哈多获美国国立卫生研究院三年期资助 517956 美元，研究全氟与多氟烷基物质即 PFAS 对蚊虫的影响，资助编号为 1R15AI194160-01A1。
哈多为该校科学与数学学院微生物学助理教授，是该校今年第二位获国立过敏与传染病研究所资助的研究人员，另一位为生物学副教授李顺九，公布如此说明。
PFAS 是广泛存在的环境污染物，可出现在蚊虫发育的水生栖息地，项目将研究接触这些化合物如何影响蚊虫适应性，以及是否影响重要蚊种传播寨卡、西尼罗与拉克罗斯等病毒的能力，研究还将为该校本科生与综合生物学理学硕士项目研究生提供参与机会。本稿只报道资助与研究事实，不作个体诊疗建议。
Kennesaw State Researcher Receives 517,956 Dollar Three Year NIH Grant to Study PFAS Effects on Mosquitoes and Virus Transmission
GEORGIA — Kennesaw State University researcher Andrew Haddow has received a three year grant from the National Institutes of Health worth 517,956 dollars to study the effects of per and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, on mosquitoes, under grant number 1R15AI194160-01A1.
Haddow, an assistant professor of microbiology in the College of Science and Mathematics, is the second KSU researcher to receive a grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases this year, joining associate professor of biology Soon Goo Lee.
PFAS are widespread environmental contaminants that can occur in aquatic habitats where mosquitoes develop. The project will explore how exposure affects mosquito fitness and whether it influences the ability of medically important species to transmit viruses such as Zika, West Nile and La Crosse viruses, and the study will provide research opportunities for undergraduate students and graduate students in the Master of Science in Integrative Biology program. This report covers only the funding and research facts and makes no individual treatment recommendation.
