KC One Health Day: Vector Borne Illnesses

Join us for KC One Health Day on Vector Borne Illnesses and their impact on global health. Learn about the parasites, viruses, and bacteria that cause diseases like malaria, dengue, and Lyme disease, and the vectors that transmit them. Discover the complex set of demographic, environmental, and social factors that determine the distribution of these diseases and the challenges they pose for outbreak prevention and management.
