Funded Activity Summary

Impact of Mosquito Control Strategies: Cost Benefit Analysis. Arbovirus diseases are increasing in Queensland (and in Australia). In Queensland, Local Government is responsible for mosquito control. Even though mosquito control programs have existed in Queensland for several decades, no one has assessed their impact on the incidence of disease or on mosquitoes nor have the benefits and costs of control been measured. We propose to investigate this via a PhD scholarship which will survey local government in Queensland, assess the costs and benefits of mosquito control and analyse differences in their distribution in time and space, with a view to explaining the differences and ultimately informing management.
