Inside LITE's Insectary: Rearing Mosquitoes for Insecticide Testing 

The Liverpool Insect Testing Establishment tests vector and pest control products against a wide range of mosquito populations for commercial and academic partners.
LITE was established in 2011 by the Vector Biology Department (VBD) at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) in partnership with the Innovative Vector Control Consortium (IVCC). In 2022, LITE transferred to LSTM’s subsidiary company iiDiagnostics, which is owned and managed by the LSTM group.
