Working Groups

Where our science happens

Five thematic working groups organize collaboration across research, innovation and policy — spanning the full spectrum of vector ecology in Africa.

01

Vector Biology & Ecology

Advancing understanding of vector species, their behavior, distribution and interaction with African ecosystems.

02

Chemical Ecology & Vector Control Innovation

Developing novel chemical, biological and integrated tools for sustainable vector control across Africa.

03

Surveillance, Diagnostics & Data Systems

Strengthening surveillance networks, diagnostic capacity and data-driven decision making for vector-borne disease.

04

Arboviruses, Pathogens & One Health

Investigating pathogen dynamics at the human–animal–environment interface through a One Health lens.

05

Capacity Building, Training & Policy Engagement

Growing the next generation of African scientists and shaping evidence-based policy on vectors and health.
