“Entomology: A Vector of Knowledge”
This theme highlights the role of insects as vectors of pathogens and parasites, as well as their impacts on crops, forests, and human and animal health. In a context where the risks associated with vector-borne diseases are increasing, prevention and research are more essential than ever.
