Project Summary This proposal details establishment of the Upper Midwestern Center of Excellence in Vector Borne Diseases (MCE-VBD) in response to CDC RFA-CK-17-005. The MCE-VBD includes accomplished and enthusiastic partners from academic, public health, and vector control institutions in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan and Iowa. The broad and long term goal of the Center is to incentivize new and expanded interactions between experts in the region so that responses to endemic and epidemic vector borne disease are improved and accelerated. To achieve this goal, the project is focused on three major objectives: 1) Increase the opportunities for training in public health entomology (PHE) for current practitioners and students. This objective will be achieved through graduate student training in PHE and through administration of a new Certificate of PHE, with a curriculum including workshops and short courses in vector identification, surveillance and control methods, pesticide application licensure and a la carte course options to be tailored to graduate level study including VBD diagnostics, model interpretation and translation, project management, and quality control. 2) Build a community of practice including public health and mosquito control experts at the county and district/municipal level, state public health experts, and academic scientists at research institution in each state. This goal will be achieved by establishing processes for information sharing between partners, developing evidence-based and region-specific public health messages, interacting to establish best practices for VBD and outbreak management, and standardizing region-wide surveillance for invasive vectors like Aedes albopictus and I. scapularis. This work will be facilitated through a public health advisory board, and will be amply supported so that the burden of new effort does not fall to PH. 3) Research to improve surveillance and responses to VBDs. For this aim, we will develop methods to improve predictions of disease emergence and outbreaks and to optimize surveillance networks and pathogen detection. We also will evaluate current methods of control for mosquitoes and ticks and will develop new tools to reduce human risks of exposure. Data from research projects will feed back into the tools developed to train PHE, and to outreach products for use with PH partners. Successful completion of these objectives will dramatically expand the ability of public health authorities in the Upper Midwest to detect and respond to new threats as well as provide a strongly supported evidence-based practice for management of vector-borne disease.

项目摘要 该提案详细说明了在Vector Borne建立上中西部卓越中心的情况 疾病（MCE-VBD）对CDC RFA-CK-17-005的响应。MCE-VBD包括完成 以及来自威斯康星州学术、公共卫生和病媒控制机构的热情合作伙伴， 明尼苏达州，伊利诺斯州，密歇根州和爱荷华州。该中心的广泛和长期目标是激励 该区域专家之间新的和扩大的互动， 流行病媒传播的疾病得到改善和加速。为了实现这一目标，该项目 重点是三个主要目标： 1)为现有从业人员增加公共卫生昆虫学培训机会 和学生这一目标将通过在公共卫生教育中培养研究生和 管理新的公共卫生和环境证书，课程包括讲习班和短期课程 在病媒鉴定、监测和控制方法、农药使用许可证和法律方面， 根据研究生水平的学习量身定制的课程选项，包括VBD诊断，模型 口译和笔译、项目管理和质量控制。 2)在该县建立一个包括公共卫生和蚊虫控制专家在内的实践社区 和地区/市级，州公共卫生专家和研究的学术科学家 在每个国家的机构。这一目标将通过建立信息共享程序来实现 合作伙伴之间，制定以证据为基础和针对具体区域的公共卫生信息， 互动以建立VBD和爆发管理的最佳实践，并实现标准化 在整个区域监测白纹伊蚊和I.肩胛肌这项工作将 通过公共卫生咨询委员会提供便利，并将得到充分的支持， 新的努力不属于PH。 3)研究改进对维生素BDs的监测和应对。为此，我们将制定方法， 改进对疾病出现和爆发的预测，优化监测网络 和病原体检测我们还将评估目前控制蚊子和蜱虫的方法 并将开发新的工具来减少人类接触的风险。来自研究项目的数据将为 这些工具是为培训公共卫生保健工作者而开发的，也是供公共卫生保健合作伙伴使用的推广产品。 这些目标的顺利完成将极大地扩展公共卫生的能力 上中西部的有关部门发现和应对新的威胁，并提供强有力的 支持采用循证做法管理病媒传播疾病。
