Programme
This international One Health-oriented training (all courses will be conducted in English) involves French specialists (CIRAD – IRD – Institut Pasteur) and European experts (Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, Bristol University) in the field of medical and veterinary entomology and vector control.
The main topics covered are:
- insecticide resistance
- alternative control methods
- transmission of pathogens
- principles of laboratory breeding of key species of medical and veterinary interest insects
- learning the morphological recognition of major genera and species of vectors of medical and veterinary importance
- aspects of "geopolitics" (= geopolitics applied to tick-borne diseases)
Méthodes et modalités pédagogiques
Conferences are generally offered in the morning in an amphitheater and are open to staff of the ENVT.
Practical work, reserved for the 16 participants of the training, takes place in the afternoon and will cover vector identification, principles of their breeding in an insectarium, and principles of field capture.
Modalités d'évaluation et de suivi
The attendees will receive a selection of papers covering the topics that will be developed during the course at least 15 days prior to the beginning of the summer school. The final examination will be made of 10 multiple choice questions and/or short answering questions.
