This is the Abstract Book of the II Congress of the Latin American Society for Vector Ecology (LA SOVE 2022) “Control of endemic zoonotic and vector-borne emerging and re-emerging diseases: Current challenges in Latin America”. It includes topics that affect the health of our Latin American people and the economy of our countries, such as neglected zoonotic and vector-borne diseases of particular relevance for Latin America (Chagas; Mosquito-borne Diseases -dengue, malaria, yellow fever, zika, chikungunya-; Leishmaniasis; Tick-borne Diseases -Rickettsia, Ehrlichia, Borrelia-; Hantavirus; Leptospirosis; Rabies; and Cystic Echinococcosis), and other topics of regional importance (Insect vectors of plant diseases; Arthropod-borne diseases of veterinary importance; Genetically modified insects for use in agriculture, livestock, and poultry; and Vector resistance to pesticides used in Public Health). The topics were addressed from various approaches including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, wildfires and habitat fragmentation on zoonotic and vector-borne diseases; Vector biology and eco-epidemiology; Vector-pathogen interaction; and Vector control and surveillance including a) new surveillance and vector control alternatives, and b) insecticide resistance.
