#FDS2025

Science Festival 2025

From 04 Oct. 2025 to 05 Oct. 2024

Montpellier Science Village (Village des sciences de Montpellier)

For the 2025 edition, DGIMI Lab, proposed an activity on the theme of “Clever pests and smart microbes.”

Pest insects are annoying herbivores. But they can be attacked by clever microbes or parasites, and plants, which cannot run away, do not let themselves be defeated either. In this battle between insects, plants, and all microbes, it is a question of who will use the most skillful and unexpected strategies to win the battle. 

On October 4 and 5, 2025, the public had the opportunity to discover the world of these clever little creatures, as well as the research conducted by the UMR "Diversity, Genomes and Microorganism-Insect Interactions" (DGIMI)  dedicated to studying the mechanisms of interaction between crop pests, their associated pathogens and parasites, and their host plants. It is supervised by INRAE and the University of Montpellier.
