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