Medical Entomology Project.
Abstract
The Medical Entomology Project (MEP) conducts biosystematic research on arthropods of medical importance to the Army. MEP fulfills this requirement by performing biosystematic studies on important groups of vectors such as anopheline mosquitoes and Culex species involved in virus transmission, providing information on potential vectors for the guidance of military field research teams and other agencies and preparing monographs and technical papers which summarize data on the ecology, taxonomy and medical importance of arthropod vectors in various regions of the world. In addition, MEP performs curation and research on the national collection of mosquitoes at the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution.
