Disease Vector Ecology Profiles (DVEPS)

Disease Vector Ecology Profiles (DVEPs) are concise summaries that focus on vector-borne military diseases that occur in specific countries, emphasizing essential epidemiology, vector bionomics and behavior, and pesticide resistance. DVEPs are synopses of relevant entomological and arthropod-borne disease information. A selected bibliography of pertinent diseases and disease vector literature is included for a more detailed analysis.

DVEPs are compiled from open source, unclassified scientific literature to provide a historical profile of disease epidemiology for selected geographical areas. The epidemiology of arthropod-borne disease is dynamic, and incidence and prevalence are constantly changing. This is especially true as the world becomes more connected and undergoes rapid development and ecological change.
