Location: Mosquito and Fly Research
Project Number: 6036-10400-002-000-D
Project Type: In-House Appropriated
Start Date: Oct 1, 2024
End Date: Sep 30, 2029
Objective:
Objective 1: Integrated management of insecticide resistance in mosquitoes.
1.A: Expand species distribution and develop insecticide resistance baseline
information for species that have demonstrated ability to transmit human disease in the US.
1.B: Operationalize insecticide resistance research findings to improve mosquito
control.
1.C: Manage insecticide resistance and de-registration of pesticide active
ingredients through innovations with plant-derived and innovative chemical
toxicants and repellents.
1.D: Bridge the critical path between the laboratory and the field: create and
implement high throughput and realistic toxicant and repellent product development systems.
1.E: Investigate new wearable mosquito-protective US military fabric solutions.
1.F: Field evaluation of new mosquito and/or sand fly control solutions.
1.G: Optimization of male mosquito production and field and operational evaluation of the sterile insect technique (SIT) to control disease vector Diptera such as Aedes aegypti or Phlebotomus species.
Objective 2: Integrated management of mosquito population expansion.
2.A: Develop improved systems to prepare and protect the US from emerging
arthropod-borne viruses.
2.B: Develop improved surveillance solutions: Leverage emerging technology to
create next generation surveillance systems and approaches.
