Summary:According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), vectorborne disease cases tripled in the U.S. from 2004-2016. Since 2004, nine new pathogens spread by mosquitoes and ticks have been discovered or introduced. In collaboration with NEHA and our subject matter experts, we developed a multiday, face-to-face, handson course on the biology and control of vectors and pest of public health concern. NEHA affiliates need to work with their partners (e.g., health departments, universities, law makers, vector and pest control companies, entomologists, etc.) to help identify needs in their areas to bring vector problems under control.
