This presentation will explore vector modelling and what it tells us about potential vector range expansion due to climate change. In response to several vector modelling initiatives that include BC, an overview of several different active and passive tick and mosquito surveillance programs that the BC Centre for Disease Control has been engaged with will be presented. These projects include active tick surveillance in the province (field work and ticks off birds), passive tick surveillance in companion animals and mosquito surveillance on Vancouver Island and the Sea to Sky region.

Lice and lethality: the re-emergence of louse-borne Bartonella quintana in Canada
This webinar will describe the re-emergence of B. quintana in Canada, examining transmission dynamics, disease burden, and emerging pathways of spread. The webinar will highlight how neglected bacterial infections linked to socioeconomic vulnerability remain concealed drivers of disease and mortality in Canada.
How do you build a digital STBBI testing program?
In this webinar, the Digital & Sexual Health Initiative team at the BC Centre for Disease Control and the University of British Columbia will share practical lessons from GetCheckedOnline, an effective digital STBBI testing program that has been operating in British Columbia for more than a decade.
Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) in shelter settings: What it means and why it matters
In this webinar, participants will learn to identify indoor environmental quality (IEQ) considerations for congregate settings, explore impacts of aspects of IEQ on the health of people in shelters and understand the connection between IEQ and the spread of infectious diseases.
No Stewardship without Stewards: Resourcing Your Antimicrobial Stewardship Program
Join us for a review of the challenges, successes, and best practices in resourcing antimicrobial stewardship programs.
Supporting TB Care in First Nations, Inuit and Northern Communities
Join us in the new year for a webinar discussing the social realities of tuberculosis (TB) in First Nations and Inuit communities, and the importance of a culturally responsive approach to TB care. The date and time will be confirmed in the new year.

Voices of Sovereignty Season 1: Navigating Data Sovereignty and Governance for First Nations
This podcast series explores the challenges, opportunities, and best practices surrounding First Nations data ownership, control, access, and possession.
Leveraging Electronic Health Record Data for Chronic Disease Surveillance: Data Quality Challenges
Population-based electronic health data, such as disease registries, administrative data, and electronic medical records are increasingly used to monitor trends and variations in chronic diseases such as diabetes, arthritis, and heart disease. The benefits of these data are timely, efficient, and cost-effective access. However these data were not intended for surveillance, and therefore their fitness for such purposes must be evaluated for these purposes. This presentation explores questions about “fitness for use” of electronic health data in disease surveillance, and explore the role of machine-learning methods to improve data quality.
Novel Partnerships and Approaches for Mosquito Surveillance
This presentation begins with a presentation by Dr. John Soghigian on public-academic collaboration. Then, Dr. Victoria Ng presents citizen science approach to mosquito surveillance.
