Henry Puerta-Guardo has travelled around the Americas studying vector-borne diseases, including hantavirus and arthropod-borne diseases, such as dengue, Zika, West Nile, and chikungunya. After living in different cities in Colombia, Venezuela, Mexico, and the United States, he has based his research studies in Merida, Mexico, the capital of Yucatan. There, he pursued a career as a professor and principal investigator at Universidad Autonoma de Yucatan (UADY), working on understanding the dynamics of mosquito-transmitted viruses and vector control strategies. He is very passionate about identifying viral and host factors that contribute to viral pathogenesis and diseases to support the development of potential prophylactics (e.g., vaccine targets) and/or therapeutics (e.g., antivirals) to combat neglected tropical diseases such as those transmitted by mosquitoes.
