The Global Vector Hub at LSHTM & ARCTEC decided to launch an early version of the GVH (‘GVH-Beta’) to address the critical need to continue to fight vector-borne diseases, share knowledge and provide information on how to protect communities, build capacity and manage health systems. This will be a pared-down version without the data and networking aspects of the full version, which will be launched subsequently. Instead, we will focus on resources on vector control to assist in capacity building, and by providing comprehensive information packs for different groups of users (public health officials; vector control agents; researchers, general public) and diseases (malaria, Aedes-borne viral diseases, Chagas disease and Leishmaniases).

The Global Vector Hub-Beta has now gone live! Please see the new website here:
