Dear Mario, dear all,
Thanks for your interest in our Workshop. I will answer you with more details to your private e-mail account.
Best regards.

> Methodology/Principal Findings: At each community, two EWTs per

> Dear Aleksandra
> Maybe you will remember me. I am Mario Rodriguez, working on black flies and onchocerciasis in Mexico. Several years ago, I attended an International Black fly symposium in Novi Sad, Serbia where I have the pleasure to met you. Maybe you can recall. I am interested in participating in the workshop of the biology and control of black flies in the coming EMCA meeting of Valencia. I know it is too late to submit the abstract (deadline on December 2014), however, I would like to know if there is still a room for my work in the black fly simposium you are the organizer. I can present the work either a poster or a talk depending on what do you think it fits in the program. If there is no space at all, I would like to be in there anyway as I will be working in Spain for a year (sabbatical) on black flies. I really would like to meet the black fly people here in Spain. I assume most black fly people be in the meeting.
> During the last four years, I was involved in an international project dealing with the development of black fly traps to replace the human landing collections that have been historically used for the monitoring and surveillance of onchocerciasis transmission in America and Africa where it is endemic. The project was granted by the Belinda and Gates Foundation. We have published several papers on the development of these traps (in Plos Neglected Tropical Diseases, PLos One, and Acta Tropica). The latest study we have conducted have not been submitted yet, but we plan to do it soon. This last study is the one that I would like to present in Valencia, if there is still a chance.
> Please let me know what do you think about this idea. I would also appreciate if you could inform me about when is the next ESOVE meeting, and if there will be a session of black flies in the ESOVE meeting. Thank you.
