DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Vector-borne diseases, like malaria, dengue, West Nile, and Rift Valley Fever are major public health problems in cities throughout the world. The extent of disease in each city varies largely as a function of the environment that regulates the dynamics of insect vector populations. Poverty, urban farming, water and sanitation availability, increased population movement, deteriorating infrastructures, overcrowding in urban areas, and natural disasters all contribute to the development of conditions that modify the natural habitats of insect vectors. These complex problems can best be addressed through interdisciplinary approaches, as history has shown that medical and entomological approaches alone are not sufficient. An INTERVECTOR Exploratory Center for Interdisciplinary Research will be developed through the Global Public Health Program of the University of Miami (UM). Partnerships will be developed between UM faculty and international collaborators to study the ecology and control of mosquito-borne diseases at 7 selected cities in three regions: East Africa (Kenya), the Middle East (Israel, Egypt), and Latin America-Caribbean (Trinidad and Costa Rica). There are 4 specific aims: 1) construct study designs that incorporate interdisciplinary approaches for problem-solving strategies that are relevant to the ecology and control of vector-borne diseases in urban environments, 2) assess current and future risks of vector-borne diseases at each selected city through interdisciplinary assessments of entomological, epidemiological, environmental, and demographic parameters, 3) conduct small-scale field studies in each of the selected cities to obtain further interdisciplinary information on key factors affecting the spatial and temporal risks of mosquito-human contact and vector-borne diseases, and 4) strengthen capacity for harnessing the power of interdisciplinary approaches for controlling vector-borne diseases in urban environments. A major outcome will include new testable interdisciplinary approaches for controlling vector-borne diseases in urban environments.

描述（由申请人提供）：媒介传播疾病，例如疟疾，登革热，西尼罗河和裂谷发烧，是全球城市中的主要公共卫生问题。每个城市的疾病程度在很大程度上因调节昆虫载体种群动态的环境而变化。贫困，城市农业，水和卫生能力，人口运动的增加，基础设施恶化，城市地区拥挤以及自然灾害都有助于改变昆虫媒介自然栖息地的条件。这些复杂的问题最好通过跨学科的方法解决，因为历史表明，仅医学和昆虫学方法是不够的。将通过迈阿密大学全球公共卫生计划（UM）的全球公共卫生计划开发一个跨学科研究的探索中心。 UM教师和国际合作者之间将建立伙伴关系，以研究三个地区的7个选定城市的生态学和控制蚊子 - 传播疾病：东非（肯尼亚），中东（以色列，埃及）和拉丁美洲 - 美国 - 卡里布贝（Trinidad and Costa and Costa and Costa Rica）。有4个具体目的：1）结构构造研究设计，这些设计纳入了解决问题的策略的跨学科方法，这些方法与城市环境中的生态学和媒介传播疾病的控制相关，2）评估每个城市在每个城市中通过构成范围，较小的环境，环境，以及较小的环境，以及各种各样的介绍，环境，以及各种各样的介绍，环境，以及各种各样的涉及媒介 - 传播性​​疾病的风险，环境，以及各种各样的现场性研究，以及较小的环境，以及各种各样的参数，且范围的环境，以及范围的环境，序列，序列，以及范围的环境，以及范围的环境，以及范围的参数，以及范围的环境，以及范围的范围。选定的城市获得了有关影响蚊子人类接触和媒介传播疾病的空间和时间风险的关键因素的进一步跨学科信息，以及4）增强能力来利用在城市环境中控制跨学科方法控制媒介传播疾病的能力。一个主要的结果将包括用于控制城市环境中媒介传播疾病的新的可检验跨学科方法。
