Full Description
This exam assesses the mechanisms by which insect vectors facilitate the transmission of human pathogens. Emphasis is placed on understanding the biological interactions between vectors and hosts and the dynamics of disease spread.
The study of insect vectors is crucial for public health, as it informs disease prevention strategies and informs vector control programs. Understanding vector biology provides insight into the epidemiology of diseases such as malaria and dengue.
The exam will evaluate students' ability to articulate transmission pathways, vector-host interactions, and the implications for disease management in a verbal format.
Students are encouraged to prepare by reviewing current literature and recent case studies related to vector-borne diseases.
