About Us
One of our main goals with this project is to engage with the community to spread awareness in the Rio Grande Valley about vector-borne diseases transmitted by vectors like mosquitoes (aedes aegypti), kissing bugs (triatominae), and ticks (rhipicephalus sanguineus). The information here provided not to cause panic, but to inform and prevent the community about this diseases, since a few of the population follow protection guidelines proposed by the CDC
