Roadmap for Vector Transmission Control (VTC)

What are we trying to achieve and why? What is the problem we are trying to solve?

How can urban development interfere with the vector population and pathogen transmission

What are the scientific and technological challenges (knowledge gaps needing to be addressed)?

Analysis of socio-economical preparedness: farmer versus community

What approaches could/should be taken to address the research question?

What else needs to be done before we can solve this need?

Existing knowledge including successes and failures

Labruna MB: human-modified landscapes changes in behaviour of capybaras: in the night foraging in urban
paddocks, during the day in the forest where there are no predators anymore but a lot of ticks. In the their natural environment not in the forest and thus less ticks on capybaras: rhus in human modified landscape more infested ticks in human area.
