Division/Committee: [AGRO] Division of Agrochemicals

New public health and veterinary diseases are becoming more prevalent with global climate change and the continual encroachment of human habitation into new sylvatic environments. To make matters worse, resistance to legacy chemical pest control technologies continues to burgeon in disease vectors, making it even more difficult to deal with this growing threat. Therefore, it is imperative that new and innovative vector control tools and strategies are continuously developed. This symposium will highlight research and development of novel control tools and the field deployment of new and previously utilized strategies in innovative ways. This will include both chemical and non-chemical control technologies, as both strategies will be essential in future pest control regimens. It is our hope that the presentations and discussions part of this symposium will inspire future technologies and research consortia that can better develop viable solutions into the future.
