Vector-borne diseases remain one of the most pressing public health challenges in tropical regions. This conference brings together entomologists, molecular biologists, environmental scientists and policy makers to share research on vector biology, disease surveillance and sustainable environmental management — building practical pathways from laboratory research to community-level risk reduction.
It is the 4th International Conference organised by CIMSER, with the 3rd edition held in 2023.
Foster interdisciplinary dialogue on vector-borne disease risk, share emerging molecular and ecological research, and translate science into sustainable, community-ready environmental health strategies.
Delegates and speakers from across the globe presenting cutting-edge vector-risk research.
Attend in person at Loyola College, Chennai, or join select sessions online from anywhere.
Accepted papers are eligible for indexed proceedings and partner-journal publication.
