Presentation Transcript

  1. Category 10d Mosquito, House Fly and Vector Control Robert A. Restifo Vector-borne Disease Program

  2. Mosquitoes have: Long mouth parts = Proboscis 2 wings with scales on wing veins and wing margin

  3. Life Cycle = Egg - Larva - Pupa - Adult

  4. Larval Habitat = Standing Water

  5. Mosquito-borne Diseases • La Crosse encephalitis = LAC • St. Louis encephalitis = SLE • West Nile encephalitis = WN • Eastern Equine encephalitis = EEE • Malaria • Dog Heartworm • Pest vs. Vector

  6. LAC Cycle Endemic in Ohio About 20 cases/year A suburban to rural disease Fatality rate <1% Vector is Aedes triseriatus Breeds in containers that hold water Sporadic cases Mostly children

  7. SLE and WN Cycle

  8. Integrated Mosquito Management • Education • Surveillance • Source Reduction • Larval Control • Adult Control • Control does not mean eradication

  9. Survey vs. Surveillance • Survey = Short-term • Determines predominant species • Surveillance = Long-term • Population dynamics • Disease monitoring

  10. Source Reduction • Draining • Filling • Water Manipulation • Container Removal • Tire Pile Remediation by OEPA • Long-term, Cost Effective

  11. Larval Control • Formulation = Liquids, Solids, Tossits • Temephos = Abate • Anvil

  12. Larval Control • Bti • B. sphaericus • Methoprene = Altocid • Agnique MMF • Mosquito Fish = Gambusia • Other Predators and Parasites • Fish, Insects, Fungi, etc.

  13. Repellents • Personal Application • Sprays, Sticks, Lotions • Use on clothing or skin • Use 10%-25% active ingredient • Area Application • Bombs, Smoke Pots, Coils, Citronella
