John Hargrove, PhD

Senior Research Fellow

Research theme: Combatting Infections of National Priority

John was appointed as SACEMA director in early 2006 and remained director until June 2010, when he handed over stewardship of SACEMA to incoming director Alex Welte. John worked for more than 30 years in the field of tsetse fly biology and control, applying mathematical analytical and modelling techniques in the field of physiology, behaviour and population dynamics.
