This workshop provides a crash course on ectoparasites and vectors, crucial for both human and animal health. Participants will gain practical, hands-on experience in identifying common ectoparasites (such as ticks, fleas, mites, and lice) and learn about their diversity and ecological roles. The workshop will cover techniques for safely collecting ectoparasites from animal hosts, with a focus on accurate specimen handling and preservation. Additionally, participants will explore surveillance methods used to monitor vector populations, including mosquito traps and tick collection tools. A key focus will be assessing vector-borne disease risks and developing strategies to prevent bites and disease transmission. This interactive training is designed to equip professionals with the skills to enhance vector surveillance and mitigation efforts in their respective fields. Learn more.
