Applied Research & Evaluation Projects
NEVBD supports a variety of innovative projects that directly evaluate new and existing strategies for vector-borne disease monitoring, prediction, and control.
Learn more about our supported projects as a Teaching and Evaluation Center, as well as completed efforts from our prior funding periods.
Current Projects
As of July 2023, our efforts as a Teaching & Evaluation Center are focused on assessing the effectiveness of currently available tools, programs, and resources to combat the spread and impact of vector-borne diseases in the Northeast region. Our efforts fall within the following areas:
- Evaluation of host-targeted tick control approaches
- Pesticide resistance monitoring in mosquitoes
- Optimization of communication strategies and resources
- Improving tools and strategies for responding to community needs
- Improving educational opportunities for vector-borne disease professionals
Stay tuned for more information on these projects!
Completed Projects
From 2017 – 2022, NEVBD collaborators conducting applied research to develop and evaluate new strategies for vector-borne disease monitoring, prediction, and control. Our applied research agenda during this time focused on the following areas:
- Changing climate and disease risk
- Monitoring trends and predicting spread through surveillance and modeling
- Vector competence and genetic diversity for pathogens and vectors
- Vector biology, behavior, and ecology
- Improving tools for surveillance and control of tick and mosquito vectors
You can learn more about the research teams and projects supported during from 2017 – 2022 by visiting our Completed Projects page.
