Vector-borne viruses represent a growing global health challenge, requiring effective strategies for prevention, control, and outbreak response. However, structured training in arbovirology remains underrepresented in many virus-focused graduate programs. In particular, opportunities to integrate vector biology, ecological drivers, and public health perspectives within a One Health framework—essential for informed prevention and control strategies—are limited. At the same time, outbreaks highlight the need for scientists who can effectively communicate complex transmission dynamics to diverse audiences. We developed and implemented an interdisciplinary training module for MD and PhD trainees within the integrated Research Training Group of the Collaborative Research Centre 1648 “Emerging and Re-Emerging Viruses.” The course combines foundational teaching on selected arboviruses, vector biology, and host–vector–environment interactions with an interactive simulation of a hypothetical mosquito-borne disease outbreak. The training explicitly links biological mechanisms to prevention and control measures, including vector control strategies and public health interventions. In a structured role-play press conference, participants assumed the roles of scientists, clinicians, public health officials, journalists, and members of the public. Nine trainees from diverse backgrounds participated. The simulation facilitated cross-disciplinary understanding of vector-borne disease dynamics and highlighted challenges in communicating evidence-based prevention and control strategies. This pilot demonstrates a feasible framework for integrating vector biology, communication, and prevention into graduate training, supporting preparedness for future outbreaks.
