Although a few days late, this message on current and emerging vector-borne pathogens was a great way to close out the week. The Connecticut Department of Public Health's theme for National Public Health Week was "DPH saved your life today, you just didn't know it." It's the work being done behind the scenes. It's core public health work like our ability to respond to future infectious disease outbreaks. At last week's Vector-Borne Disease Symposium at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, we spoke about emerging threats in Connecticut as this tick and mosquito season ramps up.
