[Preface]

   Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) envisions a world toward a safer and healthier future. To achieve this goal, the KDCA conducts and supports biomedical science and health research to address national challenges against emerging, re-emerging and national notable infectious diseases. The KDCA's Division of Vectors & Parasitic Diseases (DVPD) has been conducting diagnosis and surveillance for indigenous, imported and tropical Vector-borne and Parasitic diseases. To enhance the global capacity for preventing Vector-borne and Parasitic diseases, the DVPD has been supported the Asian countries under the "KDCA-DVPD Grant program". This program supports international cooperation and laboratory establishment for the diagnosis and surveillance of Vectors and Parasitic diseases. The DVPD has conducted surveys for vectors (mosquitoes and ticks) and parasitic diseases (helminthiasis and malaria) with collaborated countries and supported training on diagnosis tools and vector surveillance.

   The DVPD is committed to strengthening its relationships with neighboring countries and challenging new topics to improve international cooperation to reduce the risk of Vector-borne and Parasitic diseases.
