Vector-borne diseases have shaped the formation of cities and continue to have profound impacts on our global community. This is especially true for the city of New Orleans, the site of the last outbreak of yellow fever in the United States. Tulane University's Schools of Medicine and of Public Health and Tropical Medicine were founded in 1834, from the university's founding physicians' desire to study and control public health threats in the environments in which they occur. The course is designed for medical professionals, epidemiologists, and student trainees and includes field and laboratory sessions and short talks on malaria, dengue and Chagas disease from experts in medical entomology and clinical care. We will also address preventative options against vectors and discuss current issues affecting vector-borne disease expansion, including climate change.
