ISNTD Bites 2012 will focus on three themes:
Session 1: Solutions and emerging challenges in vector control: GM mosquitoes, veterinary treatment, integrated vector management, insecticide treated materials, insecticide resistance.
Session 2: Governance and policy: challenges to successful vector management and towards strong local leadership.
Session 3: Impact of climate change on NTDs: shifting the boundaries? The role of climate in changes in prevalence of vectors and incidence of disease in non-endemic regions.
Subject to change.
