The spread of arthropod-borne disease affects human health as well as agricultural and livestock resources. Researchers at Auburn University and USDA use a device called an electropenetrograph (EPG) to study insect feeding behaviors relevant to the spread of these diseases. However, existing EPG technology is not well suited to the study of blood-feeding insects. To address this, the Auburn-USDA HMC Engineering Clinic team has designed an EPG with modernized features including improved ease of use in field experimentation.
