George B. Craig, Jr. (July 8, 1930 — December 21, 1995) was an American biologist and entomologist, the Clark Professor of Biology at the University of Notre Dame, a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a recipient of the National Institutes of Health Merit Award.
[2] The National Academies Press called him "an internationally recognized expert on the biology and control of mosquitoes" and that his "contributions made ... to medical entomology are almost incalculable".
His research group, the Vector Biology Laboratory, identified nine by 1962 and by 1967 had constructed a linkage map with 28 alleles assigned to the mosquito's three chromosome pairs.
[3] The World Health Organization's collection of medically important Aedes was housed with his research group.
Craig was the first member of academic staff at University of Notre Dame to be elected to the National Academy of Sciences.
