As climate change and the increase of international trade, the possibility of infectious disease inflow is increasing into Republic of Korea (ROK). Nine of total 16 cases overseas travel related Zika virus disease and 140 of 314 cases in dengue fever occurred during mosquito season throughout ROK in 2016, which increase importance on the studies of disease vectors for effective control and monitoring. However, the vector resources for the studies are not enough to support the studies by private research institutes and universities. Korea Center for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) has secured and maintained the disease vectors, comprised of 5 genus and 15 species in an insectarium system. KCDC has supported the disease vector resources through the system wherever to request them. In this presentation, the insectarium systems will be introduced.
