Vector-Borne Diseases: Understanding the Environmental, Human Health, and Ecological Connections
Excerpt
To consider the importance of vector-borne diseases in terms of their human health, ecological, and environmental implications, the Institute of Medicine’s Forum on Microbial Threats hosted a public workshop in Ft. Collins, Colorado, on June 19 and 20, 2007. Through invited presentations and discussions, participants examined factors associated with the emergence of vector-borne diseases, current domestic and international detection and control capabilities, and assessed the resource needs and opportunities for improving and coordinating surveillance, diagnosis, and response to vector-borne disease outbreaks.
