The Navy Entomology Center of Excellence Joins Florida Mosquito Control Districts in the Fight against Mosquitoes

Abstract

Of the Florida mosquito species that feed on humans, the majority are a nuisance, while others pose a disease threat to state residents and visitors. As recently as 100 years ago, Virginia Congressman John Randolph declared Virginia uninhabitable due in large part to the legions of mosquitoes ready to bite and potentially spread diseases such as malaria and yellow fever. Today, there are more than 60 mosquito control programs across the Sunshine State that labor year-round to make this once "uninhabitable" region much safer and more hospitable.
