GCRF-BBR: The Global Vector Hub - The global open access community for vector control information and research

全球病媒中心是一个开放获取的互动资源，将改善疟疾、登革热和寨卡病毒等威胁生命的病媒传播疾病的控制。病媒传播的疾病影响着世界上一半以上的人口，对最不发达国家最脆弱的社会造成不成比例的影响，加剧了贫困。全球病媒中心不仅有能力改变病媒研究和病媒控制方案，而且还彻底改变了我们的准备和能力，以快速有效地应对病媒传播的疾病爆发。我们的目标是以有史以来最大的规模将研究人员和卫生工作者聚集在一起，通过开发一个收集、共享和传播数据和信息的全球平台，跨越世界各地的几个学科、疾病和媒介。通过与世界卫生组织、疾病预防控制中心和全球卫生网络等组织的合作，我们将为对控制昆虫传播的疾病感兴趣的科学家、卫生工作者和项目经理创建一个拥有有用数据、工具、指南和在线网络的信息资源，以帮助那些受病媒传播疾病影响的人和能够在政府层面改变疾病暴发方法的政策制定者。使用最先进的软件，全球媒介中心将确定和分享在哪里、由谁进行什么媒介研究和控制，加强世界各地的研究，并帮助分享数据和信息，以促进各国的福利和经济发展。全球媒介中心将利用以下工具确保成功的资源：1.蚊子数据库--关于媒介、其分布、传播的疾病、生物和可供下载或过滤的首选栖息地的数据库。蚊子分布图互动地图将是一个核心功能，显示世界各地媒介物种的分布情况，并提供有关传播疾病的弹出摘要细节。国别内容将通过地图获取国别数据，并提供更深入的信息，包括目前的病媒控制方法、谁在进行病媒控制、研究机构和应急组织。网站查找器将包含一份研究组织、机构和病媒控制计划的清单。网站查找器将是全球向量中心内的一项独特资源，可以使用户迅速与其所在领域的其他工作人员联系。资源资源部分将提供三个主要领域的在线文章、链接和可下载的文档：3.1。培训和教育材料网站上提供的培训和教育材料将介绍关键科目，并将主持标准操作程序。标准操作程序3.1.2。摘要文件3.1.3。教育资源3.2。病媒控制产品测试和选择这一部分将使用户能够方便地访问已获得世卫组织批准的产品清单及其制造商的链接，以及可用于测试新产品的网站的联系方式。它还将就如何选择适当的病媒控制产品提供指导。在线链接一个广泛的数据库将提供已建立的在线资源的链接，从病媒控制方案网站到蚊子识别工具。这些内容将在以下章节4中进行组织。论坛全球病媒中心打算在从事不同疾病、不同病媒和不同控制工具的科学家、政策制定者、医疗工作者和病媒控制实施者之间就以下主题展开热烈的讨论。

The Global Vector Hub is an open access, interactive resource that will improve the control of life-threatening vector-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue and Zika. Vector-borne diseases impact over half of the world's population and exacerbate poverty by disproportionately affecting the most vulnerable societies in the least-developed countries. The Global Vector Hub not only has the capacity to transform vector research and vector control programmes, but revolutionise our preparedness and ability to respond quickly and effectively to vector-borne disease outbreaks. We aim to bring together researchers and health workers on the largest scale ever seen, cutting across several disciplines, diseases and vectors around the world by developing a global platform for collecting, sharing and disseminating data and information. By working collaboratively with organisations such as the WHO, CDC and The Global Health Network, we will create an information resource with useful data, tools, guidelines and online networking for scientists interested in controlling diseases transmitted by insects, heath workers and programme managers facilitating the support of those affected by vector-borne diseases and policy makers able to make changes in the approach to disease outbreaks at a government level. Using state-of the-art software, the Global Vector Hub will identify and share what vector research and control is being done where and by whom, strengthening research around the world and helping to share data and information for the welfare and economic development of countries.The tools that the Global Vector Hub will utilise to ensure a successful resource will include the following:1. Mosquito databaseA database of vectors, their distributions, diseases transmitted, biology and preferred habitats available for download or for filtering.1.1. Mosquito distribution mapAn interactive map will be a core feature, showing the distribution of vector species across the world and providing pop-up summary details about the diseases transmitted.1.2. Country-specific contentCountry-specific data will be reached through the map and provide more in-depth information, including current vector control methods, who is doing vector control, research institutions and emergency response organisations.2. Site finderWill contain a list of research organisations, institutions and vector control programmes. The site finder will be a unique resource within the Global Vector Hub that can quickly put users into contact with others working in their field.3. ResourcesThe Resources section will provide online articles, links and downloadable documents in three main areas:3.1. Training and educational materialsTraining and educational materials available on the site will give introductions to key subjects, and will host standard operating procedures.3.1.1. Standard operating procedures3.1.2. Summary documents3.1.3. Educational resources3.2. Vector control product testing and selectionThis section will give users easy access to lists of products that have been approved by WHO and links to their manufacturers, as well as contacts details for sites available for testing novel products. It will also provide guidance on how to select suitable vector-control products.3.3. Online linksAn extensive database will provide links to established online resources, ranging from vector control programme websites to mosquito identification tools. These will be structured in the following sections4. Discussion forumsThe Global Vector Hub intends to create lively discussions on the following subjects between scientists working on different diseases, different vectors and different control tools, policy-makers, healthcare workers and vector control implementers.
