NEVBD: Northeast Regional Center for Excellence in Vector-Borne Diseases

Training

NEVBD strives to provide updated resources, tools, and educational programs in vector-borne disease and public health to students and professionals in the field.

Resources

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.

Projects

NEVBD supports an evaluation agenda focused on strategies, tools, and programs for vector-borne disease monitoring, prediction, and control.

Resistance

NEVBD offers programming to support pesticide resistance monitoring for vectors in the Northeast region, including a specimen submission system and nationally representative working group.

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 evaluation & research projects, professional training programs, and the sharing and creation of resources on mosquitoes, ticks, and the diseases they carry in our region.
