In the struggle against vector-borne diseases, it is critical that we bridge the gap between vector control workers on the ground (practitioners) and public health planners and administrators. Experiencing the dearth of guidance in this field, LABORATORY OF PUBLIC HEALTH ENTOMOLOGY came up with the concepts, design, and implementation of a sound public health entomology Diploma.

Public Health Entomology comprehensively examines vector-borne disease prevention, surveillance, and control from a governmental and public health perspective with worldwide application. Population growth and distribution predicted over future decades pose increased risks of disease outbreaks and emergence of new diseases worldwide.  Scientists from many disciplines, veterinarians, health-care practitioners, public health workers and policy makers are needed to provide public health surveillance, make new discoveries, and find solutions to address these risks.

The post-Graduate course in Public Health Entomology focused on insects and other arthropods that serve as vectors and reservoirs of disease pathogens, and are responsible for the direct and indirect causation of disease. It also includes overview of some of the most common public health pests that are found globally.
