The Department of Medical Entomology is the only institution for this aspect of entomology in Australia and as such serves as the de facto National Reference Laboratory for insects and other arthropods of medical and public health importance. The Department based at Westmead Hospital and linked with Sydney University. On its web site the department supplies fact sheets about vector-borne diseases, medically important arthropods, maggot debridement therapy, arbovirus surveillance and mosquito monitoring programs, information about their research projects, a key for the common mosquitoes of southeastern Australia and answers to frequently asked questions about human pathogenic arthropods. ...

VectorBase is a web-accessible data repository for information about invertebrate vectors of human pathogens. VectorBase annotates and maintains vector genomes providing an integrated resource for the research community. Currently, VectorBase contains genome information for two organisms: Anopheles gambiae, a vector for the Plasmodium protozoan agent causing malaria, and Aedes aegypti, a vector for the flaviviral agents causing Yellow fever and Dengue fever.

Constant changes in climate, consumer demand, economy, regulations, technology, as well as invasions of new pest species, continuously challenge researchers, extension officers, growers and the agro-businesses. These and other topics will be discussed at the meeting. The venue of the meeting, the program structure and the collegial atmosphere are designed to encourage informal interactions, explore common interests and possible collaborations, and facilitate learning and information sharing. Visits to Israeli protected crop operations will provide unique opportunities to explore new technologies and approaches, share knowhow, and interact with growers and extension officers. ...

This world list includes about 7400 species-group and 1200 genus-group names, together with their authors and dates of publication; among these are many names placed into synonymy. Included with each generic name is the type-species, and for each species the original genus is given as well as the original country from which it was collected. The list is “live” with further data and extensive nomenclatural references being added regularly. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Psocodea Species File is a taxonomic database that includes data for Psocoptera (bark lice) and Phthiraptera (parasitic lice). It uses the Species File Software (SFS), a collection of programs that provides access to and manipulation of taxonomic information stored in multiple databases. SFS also defines a standardized user interface to facilitate interactions with the database.The database currently contains data from "Psocoptera (Insecta): World Catalogue and Bibliography" (Lienhard and Smithers 2002) which includes synonymies and citations for all recognized species. Updates for Psocoptera are in the process of being added. Data from major Phthiraptera catalogs will be added at a later date, together with host associations. When completed this database will house data from over 10,000 valid species and associated data. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The Aphid Species File (ASF) is a taxonomic and bibliographic database of the world's Aphids (plant lice) and allied groups. It uses Species File Software (SFS), a collection of programs that provides access to and manipulation of taxonomic information stored in multiple databases. SFS also defines a standardized user interface to facilitate interactions with the database. The database contains now over 5000 valid species names with more being added to on a regular basis. ...
