The image is fully released; the model release for Sarah Rydberg is on file in Media Relations & Strategic Communications.

Gene Elefant's grandson, Silas Hood, holds a container of live mosquitos as his family looks on at the Alex Eugene (Gene) Elefant Insectary Lab on Monday, July 29, 2024, at the ISTB1 on ASU’s Tempe campus. Gene Elefant’s sister-in-law, Dorene McCourt, an ASU alumna, donated the Insectary endowment to enable undergraduate and graduate students to research diseases that mosquitos spread. The insects are the deadliest animals on the planet, responsible for more human deaths than any other creature. They take the lives of 700,000 people annually through mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, West Nile Virus, Zika and Dengue Fever. Gene died suddenly from the West Nile Virus in 2021.
