Most of his career was spent with CSIRO, much of it spent at the Division of Animal Health McMaster Laboratory in Sydney. With colleagues Harry Standfast and Toby St George he revolutionised veterinary arbovirus research in Australia. They pioneered methods, now widely used, of collecting, feeding and identifying midges and mosquitoes for virus isolation studies. This work led to the National Arbovirus Monitoring Program which maps the distribution of livestock arboviruses and their vectors in Australia. Dyce also studied the taxonomy of Australian Culicoides and wrote a revision of Australian sandflies (Phlebotominae). His research extended to the Culicoides of the Americas and Southeast Asia. c. 1941 1945 Military service - Served with the Royal Australian Navy 1953 1961 Career position - Research officer, CSIRO Wildlife Survey 1961 1963 Career position - Entomologist, F.
