UNAM's offices abroad organise seventh UNAM-Europe seminar on disease-carrying insects
The overseas offices of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) have organised the seventh UNAM-Europe Research Seminar, linked to how climate, biodiversity and human mobility are shifting where disease-transmitting insects live.
Why it matters: UNAM's offices abroad are the organisers of this seventh UNAM-Europe Research Seminar, which the university links to new public-health risks from insect-borne disease.
According to Gaceta UNAM, the National Autonomous University of Mexico's offices abroad have organised the seventh edition of the UNAM-Europe Research Seminar.
Gaceta UNAM said that changing climate, falling biodiversity and growing human mobility are altering the distribution of insects that transmit diseases, creating new public-health risks.
The university newsroom said understanding this phenomenon requires pooling experience from different regions and developing research and surveillance strategies.
