CDC Division of Vector-Borne Diseases

The Division of Vector-Borne Diseases (DVBD) is a component of the CDC's National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID). The division works to identify and respond to vector-borne diseases that affect human health both domestically and internationally.

The organization operates across multiple locations, including Atlanta, Georgia; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Fort Collins, Colorado. Its structure includes specialized branches such as the Arboviral Diseases Branch, which focuses on viruses spread by ticks and mosquitoes, as well as the Rickettsial Zoonoses Branch and the Dengue Branch.
