  abstract = {{V}ector-borne pathogens impact public health, animal production, and animal welfare. {R}esearch on arthropod vectors such as mosquitoes, ticks, sandflies, and midges which transmit pathogens to humans and economically important animals is crucial for development of new control measures that target transmission by the vector. {W}hile insecticides are an important part of this arsenal, appearance of resistance mechanisms is increasingly common. {N}ovel tools for genetic manipulation of vectors, use of {W}olbachia endosymbiotic bacteria, and other biological control mechanisms to prevent pathogen transmission have led to promising new intervention strategies, adding to strong interest in vector biology and genetics as well as vector-pathogen interactions. {V}ector research is therefore at a crucial juncture, and strategic decisions on future research directions and research infrastructure investment should be informed by the research community. {A} survey initiated by the {E}uropean {H}orizon 2020 {INFRAVEC}-2 consortium set out to canvass priorities in the vector biology research community and to determine key activities that are needed for researchers to efficiently study vectors, vector-pathogen interactions, as well as access the structures and services that allow such activities to be carried out. {W}e summarize the most important findings of the survey which in particular reflect the priorities of researchers in {E}uropean countries, and which will be of use to stakeholders that include researchers, government, and research organizations.},
