Since the presence of competent vectors is a prerequisite for the transmission of strictly vector-borne diseases, knowledge about vector distribution is of primordial importance for disease prevention and control.</p> 501 502<p>VectorNet is a project of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) which aims to contribute to improving preparedness for and response to vector-borne diseases, following a âOne-Healthâ approach.</p> 503 504<p>VectorNet started in May 2014, and is now running its third iteration (2024â2028). VectorNet supports the collection of data on vectors related to both animal and human health. The project is structured in five work packages, fostering Collaboration, Preparedness, Agility, Communication and Project coordination and management.</p> 505 506<figure class="has-text-centered"> 507 <img src="/assets/images/vn1.png" alt="" /> 508 <figcaption></figcaption> 509</figure> 510 511<p>VectorNet maintains a common database on the presence and distribution of vectors across Europe and the Mediterranean basin. This database is uploaded periodically on the GBIF VectorNet Data portal.</p> 512 513<p>The primary outputs of VectorNet have been, and continue to be, the vector distribution maps at www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/disease-vectors and www.efsa.europa.eu/en/topics/topic/vector-borne-diseases. The project also provides ad-hoc scientific advice to support ECDC and EFSA with technical questions on entomological aspects of vector-borne diseases in humans and animals. There are also many reports and tools produced by the VectorNet, many of these organized on the <a href="https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/about-us/partnerships-and-networks/disease-and-laboratory-networks/vector-net">VectorNet website</a> but others published by EFSA in their journals. The project is operated by a consortium of the following experts:</p> 514<h2 id="vectornet-experts">VectorNet experts</h2> 515 516<table class="table" class="table"> 517 <thead> 518 <tr> 519 <th>Expertise</th> 520 <th>Lead</th> 521 <th>Deputy</th> 522 </tr> 523 </thead> 524 <tbody> 525 <tr> 526 <td>Mosquitoes</td> 527 <td>Alessandra della Torre</td> 528 <td>Francis Schaffner</td> 529 </tr> 530 <tr> 531 <td>Ticks</td> 532 <td>Annapaola Rizzoli</td> 533 <td>Kayleigh Hansford</td> 534 </tr> 535 <tr> 536 <td>Sand flies</td> 537 <td>VÃt DvoÅák</td> 538 <td>Bulent Alten</td> 539 </tr> 540 <tr> 541 <td>Culicoides</td> 542 <td>Thomas Balenghien</td> 543 <td>Maria Goffredo</td> 544 </tr> 545 <tr> 546 <td>Vector control</td> 547 <td>Antonios Michaelakis</td> 548 <td>Francis Schaffner</td> 549 </tr> 550 <tr> 551 <td>Epidemiology</td> 552 <td>René Bødker</td> 553 <td>Veerle Vanlerberghe</td> 554 </tr> 555 <tr> 556 <td>Trials</td> 557 <td>Veerle Vanlerberghe</td> 558 <td>Wim Van Bortel</td> 559 </tr> 560 <tr> 561 <td>Data analysis</td> 562 <td>Kamil Erguler</td> 563 <td>Cedric Marsboom</td> 564 </tr> 565 <tr> 566 <td>Systematic literature Review</td> 567 <td>Wim Van Bortel</td> 568 <td>Francesca Dagostin</td> 569 </tr> 570 <tr> 571 <td>Data management</td> 572 <td>Tom Matheussen</td> 573 <td>William Wint</td> 574 </tr> 575 <tr> 576 <td>Geographic Information Systems</td> 577 <td>William Wint</td> 578 <td>Cedric Marsboom</td> 579 </tr> 580 <tr> 581 <td>Project management</td> 582 <td>Cedric Marsboom</td> 583 <td>Marieta Braks</td> 584 </tr> 585 </tbody> 586</table> 587 588<p>The VectorNet project brings operational contact points for entomology of ECDCâs <a href="https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/about-ecdc/partners-and-networks/disease-and-laboratory-networks/european-emerging-and-vector-borne">European Emerging and Vector-borne Diseases Network</a> together with <a href="https://www.efsa.europa.eu/sites/default/files/2024-03/terms-reference-veterinary-entomology-network-2024-2027.pdf">EFSAâs Network on Veterinary Entomology</a> into the <strong>One-Health VectorNet Entomological Network (OHVEN)</strong>.</p> 589 590<p>The OHVEN network works closely together with the <strong>
