Date: July 17 – August 1, 2025

Location: Salvador, Bahia, Brazil

About: The Tropical and Neglected Infectious Diseases: An Integrated One Health Approach to Public Health course will be held in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil from July 17th – August 1st, 2025. This interdisciplinary course provides a comprehensive overview of infectious diseases and public health, based on the One Health approach.

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.

Location: Bologna, Italy

About: Ecology of Aphidophaga 16 will be held in Bologna, Italy, September 8-12, 2025. The mission of Aphidophaga has been to connect entomologists studying the ecology of aphid-feeding arthropods strategies, and practical applications. Aphidophaga is a meeting focused on the ecology of arthropods that have evolved to exploit aphids as food, either as a primary resource, or as one component of a generalized diet. We hope to be able to offer travel grants to assist young scientists and students with travel costs to attend the meeting. These will be available pending approval from the International Organization of Biological Control.
