1975 PACAF Mosquito Identification Summary with a Mosquito Surveillance Guide for the Pacific Area
Abstract
This report consists partially of a record of identifications of mosquitoes captured on Pacific area USAF bases during CY 1975. A number of additional topics have been included, so that the report will be useful as a vector surveillance reference to base level organizations. With this goal in mind, sections have been prepared on interpretation of light trap data, mosquito surveillance methods, and proper specimen packing and shipping protocols. Also included are short biological data sketches of some of the more important disease vector and pest species in the PACAF area, and a list of mosquito disease vectors with the diseases that they transmit. Proper use of this information will improve the utility of vector surveillance programs by insuring that base programs are designed to yield maximal results and by identifying ways that surveillance data may be used for more efficient mosquito control.
