Section Symposium

Medical, Urban, and Veterinary Entomology

Healthy People, Places, and Animals: One Health at the Arthropod Vector-Animal-Landscape Interface

Wednesday, November 8, 2023
8:00 AM – 11:00 AM ET
Location: Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, Potomac D

In-Person

Our symposium highlights the diversity of arthropod vectors that can infest wildlife, leading to ecological implications for pathogen transmission and ecosystem health. Our symposium brings together entomologists and wildlife scientists under the One Health concept to discuss the relationships between entomology and wildlife with consequences for human and animal health.
