The missions entrusted to the Agency include:
- collective expert appraisal, scientific and technical monitoring of vectors, and especially support to managers for entomological surveillance and vector control;
- assessment of risks associated with vectors and vector control and in particular the study of vector-disease pairs, risks associated with the use of biocides, and assessment of insect vectors' resistance to insecticides;
- coordination of an expertise and vector-control network;
- mobilisation of research through the funding of research projects devoted to advancing knowledge of vectors or vector control;
- support for ministerial representatives at international level on discussions relating to all these topics.
To respond to the various expert appraisal requests, ANSES will shortly, in 2018, be setting up a permanent working group responsible for conducting expert appraisals on vectors.
