Society membership represents an amalgamation of multidisciplinary professionals including entomologists, vector ecologists, public health biologists, environmental health specialists, epidemiologists and physicians. These professionals are committed to prevention of vector-borne disease outbreaks, suppressing nuisance vectors, and in general, improving the quality of life. Many of them are working in developing countries and the SOVE serves these individuals as a link for exchange of scientific information. SOVE also publishes a quarterly Vector Ecology newsletter, which has a wide distribution, and has been hailed as one of the best newsletters in this field. Those who are not members of SOVE can join the Society by filling in the Membership Application .
Membership includes a subscription to the journal and to the newsletter.
Location Barcelona is the traditional gateway to Spain. Situated on the coast of the western Mediterranean, it is well suited to the task of forging a link between the most developed areas and the tropical and subtropical countries in which control of vectors and vector-borne diseases are an important component of public health and environmental health programs. It has developed as a great metropolis since its foundation by the Carthaginians more than two thousand years ago. It has received Romans, Arabs, Christians and all those cultures who have come to enrich it. Barcelona is a warm Mediterranean city of considerable architectural and cultural interest.
