SUMMARY:Basic Science Pre-Meeting Course Recent Advances in the Biology of Invertebrate Vectors and Implications for the Control of Tropical Diseases
DESCRIPTION:This one-day course targets scientists\, physicians\, clin
 icians\, graduate students and educators who wish to gain a better und
 erstanding of the biology of invertebrate vectors and their key role i
 n the transmission of parasites\, viruses and helminths that are respo
 nsible for significant morbidity and mortality\, most especially in re
 source-constrained areas of the world.  Topics will include an overvie
 w of the major vector-borne diseases and current control measures\, as
  well as those in development targeting the vector.  Presentations wil
 l consider the molecular\, cellular\, neurobiological and immunologica
 l advances that enhance our knowledge of vector biology\, physiology\,
  behavior and vector – pathogen and vector – host interactions\, a
 s well as for discovery of new approaches to disease control.
