Insect behavior is currently the focus of studies ranging from the characterization of its molecular bases to understanding more complex neurophysiological aspects of foraging, mating and egg laying related tasks. This has received particular interest in the case of arthropods vectoring pathogens to humans and livestock. The international conference entitled “New avenues for the behavioral manipulation of disease vectors”, organized by LE STUDIUM Loire Valley Institute for Advanced Studies, will be held on 21st-23rd May 2019 in Tours, France. This international conference intends to bring together scientists, students and entrepreneurs interested in this fascinating field with the objective of confronting different views, exploring vector control needs and future developments. High quality contributions describing cutting-edge research in all areas of the study of vector behavior are cordially invited for presentation at the conference. Topics that will be covered include, among others, vector functional genetics underlying behavioral processes, neurophysiology, sensory ecology, functional anatomy, landscape ecology and the development of new control tools.
