Organised as part of the Key Challenge \u2018Infectious Risks and Vectors in Occitanie<\/b><\/a>\u2019 (RIVOC), the 6th edition of the \u2018Biodiversity and Vectors\u2019 summer school took place from 14 to 18 September 2026 at the Tour du Valat.<\/p>\n

This training course, open to both students and professionals, aimed to explore vector-borne diseases affecting humans, animals and plants through a \u2018One Health<\/i>\u2019 approach, using various models involving mosquitoes, ticks, molluscs, aphids and many more, and considering prevention and control strategies.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s programme focused on the theme of pollution and its impacts on vectors and the diseases they transmit, in association with the BiodivOc Key Challenge. Various sessions addressed topics such as chemical pollution and light pollution, as well as the impact of vector-borne disease management itself on environmental pollution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
