Navy Entomology Center of Excellence and CDC Join Forces on Global Health Protection

Abstract

The Navy Entomology Center of Excellence (NECE) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have teamed up to complete several projects aimed at increasing our understanding of important integrated pest management (lPM) techniques used in both global humanitarian efforts and in deployed settings. In 2004 the deployed war fighter program (DWFP) was initiated with the aim to develop and validate methods to protect military personnel from threats posed by disease-carrying insects. The program allowed for the creation of two key positions at the CDC for Navy entomologists currently held by Cmdr. David Hoel and Lt. James Dunford.
