Did you know that you can use the vectorsurvR package to easily create custom calculations and reports of your surveillance data using R? Have you used VectorSurv’s new tools to calculate the density of ticks or visualized the prevalence of tick-borne pathogens in your local area? Would you like to see a history of service visits for a particular location? These are just a few of the features we’ve recently added to VectorSurv thanks to support from the state of California and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and collaboration with the American Mosquito Control Association, the Mosquito and Vector Control Association of California, and the California Department of Public Health. Join this session to learn about these and other developments and see what VectorSurv has planned for the future.
