The 2019 Entomological Society of America annual meeting was held in St. Louis, Missouri, just blocks away from the iconic Gateway Arch. Representing a 'gateway to the West', this inspired the theme of the Highlights in Medical Entomology to reflect on the accomplishments of the past year as we move into a 'new frontier' of vector biology research. Papers were selected broadly across arthropods that influence public health, focusing on topics ranging from West Nile virus transmission, ticks and tick-borne disease, to advances in genetics and 'big data' studies. This included current perspectives on West Nile virus ecology and epidemiology, which has now been endemic in the United States for 20 yr. Additional topics such as the advantages of citizen science and the importance of scientific communication were also discussed. Together, these papers demonstrate the achievements of the vector community while emphasizing the challenges that we collectively face to reduce the burden of vector-borne disease.
2019 年美国昆虫学会年会在密苏里州圣路易斯市举行，会议地点距离标志性的拱门仅几步之遥。拱门作为“通往西部的大门”，为医学昆虫学亮点会议主题提供了灵感，该主题反映了过去一年的成就，因为我们即将进入“新的前沿”的媒介生物学研究。论文广泛涵盖了影响公共卫生的节肢动物，主题从西尼罗河病毒传播、蜱虫和蜱传疾病到遗传学和“大数据”研究的进展。这包括对西尼罗河病毒生态学和流行病学的最新观点，该病毒现已在美国流行了 20 年。此外，还讨论了公民科学的优势以及科学传播的重要性等其他主题。这些论文共同展示了媒介生物社区的成就，同时强调了我们共同面临的挑战，以减轻媒介传播疾病的负担。
