NEVBD strives to provide updated resources, tools, and educational programs in vector-borne disease and public health to students and professionals in the field.
NEVBD strives to connect professionals and community members across the Northeast with the knowledge, resources, and collaboration opportunities they need to effectively reduce vector populations and lower the risk of vector-borne diseases.
We monitor and address vector-borne disease issues in Northeast communities.
The Northeast Regional Center for Excellence in Vector-Borne Diseases network of researchers, public health experts, and vector-borne disease professionals collaborate on applied research projects, professional training programs, and the sharing and creation of resources on mosquitoes, ticks, and the diseases they carry in our region.
We offer diverse training opportunities to support professional development in the current vector-borne disease workforce and prepare the next generation of public health entomologists.
