Gulf South VECTOR unites partners from the Gulf and beyond to prevent and control vector-borne diseases through a holistic, multi-sectoral approach. The collaborative aims to assess critical gaps in core competencies that hinder regional capacity to respond to the escalating threat posed by vector-borne diseases in the United States. The products produced will provide tools that enhance vector-borne disease surveillance and control capabilities and effectively train the next generation of professionals.
