Mosquito Survey and Insecticide Resistance in NC
Grant
Overview
abstract
-
Zika virus is an emerging mosquito-borne pathogen that is a public health issue. Viremic individuals have the potential to infect local mosquitoes and initiate local transmission. Day-active Ae. albopictus mosquitoes are notoriously difficult to control. Consequently, we will assess the occurrence/abundance of potential Zika virus vectors (Aedes albopictus) and assess insecticide susceptibility/resistance in Aedes albopictus populations across NC.
