The PREPARE press

Welcome to our blog, dedicated to the work of the Horizon 2020 EU-funded project PREPARE4VBD. Here, you’ll find updates on our ongoing activities and the latest progress in our experiments. We aim to share the excitement about the impact of our project as we strive to address the spread of vector-borne diseases in a warming world.
