Dear NDPIA members,
We hope that you all are well and that you are settling into the changes in our work routines due to the coronavirus.
Due to the current situation caused by the pandemic, we are seeking new ways in which to continue to meet the goals for NDPIA. Our collaborators at the National Graduate School in Infection Biology and Antimicrobials (IBA) in Norway has opened their online course on Effective Collaboration in Research from Nature Masterclasses for NDPIA members. This pre-recorded, web-based course may be taken at your own pace.
Below is a video with more information on the course:

The aim of this 2 ECTS NDPIA course is to provide an in depth understanding of pathogen-vector interaction and transmission dynamics of mosquito-borne pathogen. It will provide better understanding of mosquitoes as vectors of arboviruses and parasites most of which are zoonotic in nature and affect both humans and animals.
The course will include various aspects of the mosquito vector including; ecology, biology, population genetics, competence, capacity and how these factors influence transmission to the susceptible host.
The course will also cover vector surveillance, identification, diagnostics, prevention and control, as well as application of high-throughput sequencing platforms in virus discovery.
