VectorNet: collaborative mapping of arthropod disease vectors in Europe and surrounding areas since 2010 Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Background
Arthropod vectors such as ticks, mosquitoes, sandflies and biting midges are of public and veterinary health significance because of the pathogens they can transmit. Understanding their distributions is a key means of assessing risk. VectorNet maps their distribution in the EU and surrounding areas.
AimWe aim to describe the methodology underlying VectorNet maps, encourage standardisation and evaluate output.
