Expertise:
Anderson works on the ecology of ticks and mosquitoes, and he isolates and characterizes microbial pathogens carried by ticks and mosquitoes and the animals and humans they parasitize. Emphasis is placed on microorganisms carried by ticks that cause Lyme disease and babesiosis and carried by mosquitoes that cause eastern equine encephalitis and West Nile fever in humans, horses, and birds.  He is in charge of the Biosafety Level 3 Laboratory for isolation of viruses. He is responsible for the identification and testing of ticks sent into the Station by health officials.

Education:
B.S. North Dakota State University (1957)
M.S. North Dakota State University (1959)
Ph.D. University of Illinois (1963)

Station career:
Assistant Entomologist, 1964-1966
Associate Entomologist, 1966-1969
Chief Entomologist and State Entomologist, 1969-1987
Director, 1987-2004
Distinguished Scientist, 2004-2009
Emeritus Scientist, 2009-current

Past research:
Anderson was initially hired to work on the control and biology of Connecticut mosquitoes. He later worked on the biology and control of forest defoliating insects (gypsy moth, elm spanworm, and others), salt marsh deer flies, pesticide poisoning of honey bees and birds, and control of houseflies.

Current research:
Current research includes the isolation, identity, and characterization of human and veterinary pathogens associated with Connecticut ticks, the biology of ticks, and the ecology of viruses that cause eastern equine encephalitis and West Nile fever.
