“One Health challenge to control vector borne diseases”

In a context of global warming, vector borne diseases are spreading worlwide. In this Conference, the development of new strategies of control of two vector borne diseases, i.e. malaria and leishmaniasis, will be presented from the fundamental knowledge of their biology, and in relation with the One Health concept.
