ABOUT US

ABOUT THE CITY

Hyderabad is the capital of Telangana State. A major center for the technology industry, it is home to many upscale restaurants and shops. The most significant among them are the historical monuments, viz., Mecca Masjid, Charminar, Golconda Fort, Qutub Shahi Tombs; the palaces such as Chowmahalla Palace, Falaknuma Palace, Taramati Baradari; the religious places like Hebron House of Worship, Shahi Masjid, Ananda Buddha Vihara, Birla Mandir, Sanghi Temple, Chilkur Balaji Temple; the museums and planetariums of Salar Jung Museum, City Museum, Birla Science Museum, Birla Planetarium; the parks and gardens, e.g., Nehru Zoological Park, Lumbini Park, Mrugavani National Park, Public Gardens; among other attractions are Ramoji Film City, Necklace road, Laad Bazaar, Shilparamam.

Hyderabad is connected to most major cities domestically as well as internationally via the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, located in Shamshabad, about 22 km away from the city.

Sir Ronald Ross Institute of Parasitology (SRRIP), established in 1955, is housed in a historical building named after the world famous malariologist Sir Ronald Ross who conducted one of the most important and epoch-making discoveries in the field of malaria for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize (1902). Sir Ronald Ross discovery is considered one of the greatest landmarks in the control of malaria and other vector-borne diseases. In 1997, the SRRIP building has been the epicenter of centenary celebrations organized in commemoration of Dr. Ross outstanding discovery that mosquitoes are involved in transmission of malaria (20th August,1897), and on this occasion the historical building, built in 1895, was not only extensively renovated and refurbished but was also decorated at the entry with a bust of Sir Ronald Ross. The SRRIP is located on the periphery of Begumpet Airport and is maintained by Osmania University.

Osmania University, established in 1918, is the seventh oldest in India, the third oldest in south India and the first to be established in the erstwhile princely state of Hyderabad. Throughout its existence spanning over nine decades, it has shown remarkable progress and sustained an integrated development of all faculties. It has significantly contributed to the academic and economic development of not only the region but also of the country. Its alumni have distinguished themselves nationally and internationally in various spheres of life and are spread far and wide around the world. The University has a vision of developing, enhancing, and improving the quality of human resources to meet the challenges of regional, national and global socio-economic changes. Its mission is to achieve excellence in teaching and research and to create opportunities for the students to contribute to the national and regional development. Osmania University is re-accredited by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (an Autonomous Institution of the University Grants Commission) as 'A' Grade University.

Dear Colleagues,

Medical Arthropodology is an incredibly exciting discipline. With the largest number of species under single specific group of animals, the arthropods, highlighting their public health, biomedical and biodefence significance. This dominance means that in numbers of species beyond our comprehension these animals permeate diverse and essential natural processes in Earth's terrestrial, aerial and water ecosystems, contributing to the function of the natural world as a self-sustaining biological system. Most of the arthropods are not harmful to humans and, in fact, many are highly beneficial organisms. Still, many isolated groups of spiders, scorpions, mites, ticks and, particularly, insects concern humans because of their harmful nature of causing injuries through their poisonous bites and/or stings disturbing tranquility of humans' living environment and, above all, playing a key role in the transmission of a large number of deadly and debilitating diseases.

Vector-borne diseases (VBDs), not only affect the health of the people, but also stunt their intelligent growth and sap off economy causing enormous disease burden, mostly in tropical and subtropical countries. List of these infections is pretty long. In India malaria, dengue, filariasis, leishmaniasis and Japanese encephalitis are considered major public health problems, although many others like scrub typhus, West Nile Fever, plague, paragonimiasis and leishmaniasis are fast emerging/re-emerging. The threat of invasion by Zika virus and Yellow Fever virus is always looming large on Asian countries.

These emerging or re-emerging vector-borne diseases inflict huge mortality and morbidity. While malaria alone kills nearly one million (90% in Africa) annually, the total number of deaths and illnesses attributable to the VBDs is simply beyond one's comprehension!

With kindest regards, and looking forward to having your active th

participation in the 9 National Conference of Medical Arthropodology, I remain,

Yours sincerely,Dr. B. Reddya Naik

thThe 9 National Conference on Medical Arthropodology

highlighting “Emerging and Re-emerging Vector-Borne Diseases: Surveillance and Control” will hopefully provide a unique opportunity to bring all the possible knowledge at one platform for extensive deliberation and solution-finding exercise.
