The distribution and density of different species of mosquito vectors (notably Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, the tiger mosquito) and their resistance to insecticides are evolving. Under the effect of climate change and the globalization of trade, other species are also likely to establish themselves. An increase in cases of vector-borne diseases is therefore expected on the national territory in the coming years.

To anticipate these risks and improve vector control strategies, it is essential to develop our methods of surveillance, prevention and control of mosquito vectors.

On April 25, 2024, ANSES will organize, in scientific collaboration with the National Museum of Natural History, a seminar for the scientific and technical community working on mosquito vectors. This event will present innovative research work in entomology, virology, biology, human and social sciences and discuss concrete actions implemented by vector control stakeholders to respond to current challenges and improve control strategies. struggle.

A detailed program will be offered when registration opens at the end of February.
