Applications are now open for a fully funded Training in Molecular Vector Surveillance, designed for researchers, public health professionals, postgraduate students, and early-career scientists interested in vector biology, molecular entomology, genomics, and disease surveillance.

This intensive training program aims to strengthen Africa’s capacity for vector-borne disease research by equipping participants with advanced knowledge and practical skills in molecular surveillance. Participants will gain hands-on experience with modern approaches for monitoring vector populations, investigating disease transmission dynamics, and supporting evidence-based public health interventions.

Training Highlights

The workshop will cover key areas including:

1. Molecular entomology techniques
2. Vector surveillance and monitoring
3. Genomics applications in vector biology
4. Disease surveillance strategies
5. Data analysis and interpretation
6. Emerging approaches for controlling vector-borne diseases

Through a combination of lectures, laboratory sessions, and practical exercises, participants will develop competencies that can be applied in research institutions, public health programs, and disease control initiatives across Africa.
