You are warmly invited to the next World Health Organization Global Health Histories online webinar "Aedes aegypti": Old and New Sanitary Emergencies,” on Friday 2 December 2016 (10:00am-12.30pm BRT).
Speaking at this seminar are Dr José Moya (OPAS, Venezuela), Dr Monica
Garcia (Universidad del Rosario, Colombia), and Dr Marcos Cueto (COC,
Fiocruz).
*Please note the time difference between your location and the venue.*
For
over a century --and with intensity in recent years-- epidemic diseases
transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, such as yellow fever, Dengue
and Zika, have been dramatic and recurrent events in Brazil and much of
Latin America. These diseases have revealed the shortcomings of
sanitary infrastructures, informed sound public health responses and
stimulated innovative medical research. In order to understand the
complexity of mosquito control it is necessary to contrast past and
contemporary processes, achievements and challenges.
This seminar will be broadcast live over the internet, through the following link: http://www.tvq.com.br/ao
