Entomology Summer School
"Hands on" Course on Arthropods of Medical and Veterinary Significance: A global perspective, from theory to practice
The Parasitology and Entomology team at The National Veterinary School of Toulouse, France, is holding a five day Entomology Summer Course on the 6 to 10 July 2020. The course will highlight topics such as arthropod-borne diseases, resistance in arthropod populations, control tools, principles of laboratory rearing and morphological identification of arthropods of medical and veterinary importance.
The course will encompass several arthropod groups, namely sandflies, mosquitoes, Culicoides midges, Tabanidae, Muscidae, fleas, bedbugs, ticks and sarcoptic mites. Lectures will generally take place in the morning, while the afternoon will be dedicated to laboratory and field work.
