Dataset type
This dataset that contains primary occurrence data for species.
Description
VectorNet started in May 2014, and is now in its second iteration
(2019–2023). VectorNet supports the collection of data on vectors and
pathogens in vectors related to both animal and human health.
ECDC and EFSA are developing a network of medical and veterinary experts
and organisations to maintain a common database on the presence and
distribution of vectors and pathogens in vectors across Europe and the
Mediterranean basin.
The network of medical entomologists and public health professionals,
already established during the preceding VBORNET project, is being
extended to include veterinary entomologists and veterinarians working
in the field of vector-borne diseases in Europe and the countries
surrounding the Mediterranean Basin.
The project also provides ad-hoc scientific advice to support ECDC and
EFSA with technical questions on vector surveillance and vector-borne
diseases in humans and animals.
Through the EFSA/ECDC collaboration on the VectorNet project,
communication and collaboration between experts and organisations from
the medical and veterinary domains will be improved. The project will
contribute to improving preparedness and response for vector-borne
diseases in the European Union.
