Web-based Story Map-US Embassy, Paris - Combatting Vector-borne Diseases

State Department highlights their bilateral cooperation with France on infectious diseases, highlighting vector-borne disease - No abstract. This is a web-based Story Map (attached as .pdf) To mark the occasion of World Mosquito Day (August 20), the U.S. Embassy in Paris, France created a "Story Map" highlighting the growing threat of vector-borne and other infectious diseases such as Zika, dengue fever, yellow fever and lyme disease that pose a threat to global health. This visual story is meant to be informative and also highlights the positive steps French and American officials have taken to work together on this important issue. Featured on some of the slides is Dr. Elizabeth Hilborn, at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA-NHEERL-EPHD) who participated in a two month State Department Embassy Science fellowship at France's Ministry of Health (MOH), focusing on overcoming the challenges of Lyme disease in France and the United States.
