Consultancies and Translation Services

We have over 30 years' research experience in entomology and tropical medicine and have worked in Australia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Colombia, Ecuador, Mauritius, Spain, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey and the US. Much of this experience is field-based and our staff have more than 60 peer-reviewed scientific publications dealing with a variety of aspects of insect-transmitted disease and pest problems.

Having participated in collaborative projects with people in many countries, we are well qualified to undertake short-term consultancies to assess particular epidemiological situations, recommend control measures and assist in preparing research proposals.

We are also fluent in both Spanish and Portuguese and have translated over 300 articles in both languages to English over the past 15 years. As such we can guarantee rapid, accurate translation and/or revision of your manuscript, enhancing its chances of publication in a high-impact English language journal.

We are also involved with the Cochrane Collaboration at Liverpool University, assisting them in systematic reviews of biomedical publications since 2003.
