Dr. John R. Wallace is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Biology at Millersville University, Millersville, PA. Dr. Wallace is a trained medical entomologist who maintained 25 years of federal and state funding to study the population dynamics of mosquitoes and other biting insects related to arthropod-borne disease vector ecology as they relate to the control and prevention of disease in urban and rural environments in temperate and tropical regions of the world.
