This
self-paced course aims to provide the learners with an overview of the basic
concepts of epidemiology, as applicable to vector-borne diseases. After
introducing the learners to the fundamental concepts of designing,
conducting, and interpreting epidemiological studies, the course focuses on
the natural history, prevention, control, elimination, and eradication
strategies for vector-borne diseases. Subsequently, there is a brief segment
on the biology, behavior, and identification characteristics, of important
vectors. The course concludes with an overview of the burden, program
targets, epidemiological determinants, diagnosis, management, and control
measures of the common vector-borne diseases in India.
Our online course on the control of vector-borne
diseases is enriched by a cadre of eminent instructors, each bringing a diverse
background that collectively forms a comprehensive and holistic learning
experience. Hailing from various corners of the country, our instructors boast
expertise in fields such as epidemiology, entomology, public health, and
tropical medicine. This diverse blend ensures that students gain insights into
the multifaceted nature of vector-borne diseases, considering different
geographic, cultural, and ecological contexts. With instructors who have
conducted groundbreaking research, developed innovative control strategies, and
worked on the frontlines of disease prevention, our students are exposed to a
wealth of knowledge and practical applications. This mosaic of backgrounds not
only fosters a rich exchange of ideas but also equips learners with a global
perspective crucial for addressing the challenges posed by vector-borne
diseases in an interconnected world..
