Section Symposium

Medical, Urban, and Veterinary Entomology

DoD-funded Research to Develop Products for Vector Surveillance, Control and Bite Prevention

Sunday, November 5, 2023
3:30 PM - 5:30 PM ET
Location: Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, Potomac 3-4

In-Person

This symposium showcases a wide variety of DoD-funded research projects to develop new vector surveillance, control and bite prevention tools that target mosquitoes, ticks, phlebotomine sand flies, filth flies and other vectors. These tools will influence future prevention of vector-borne diseases for a wide-ranging impact on disease prevention.
