Funded Activity Summary

Understanding the control of adult mosquitoes to reduce arbovirus transmission while minimising environmental and public health risk. Mosquitoes are capable of transmitting a wide range of debilitating diseases such as Ross River and Barmah Forest viruses, Murray Valley Encephalitis, Japanese Encephalitis, Dengue fever and Malaria. To prevent the transmission of these diseases local authorities expend considerable resources on the control of mosquitoes. This project will increase the understanding of chemical control measures on adult mosquitoes and this will lead to more effective mosquito control treatments and reduce the incidence of mosquito transmitted diseases. The project will also result in a reduction in the risk from the application of pesticide to public health and the environment.
