83 - Assessing the Role of Deforestation in Shaping Mosquito Abundance Patterns Across Brazil

Wednesday, March 5, 2025
9:20 AM – 9:30 AM AST
Location: 201
Abstract: This study investigates the impact of deforestation on mosquito abundance in the Neotropical region of Brazil. Mosquito traps were placed in areas with varying recency of deforestation. Utilizing remote sensing analysis of land cover changes, we will assess how alterations in vegetation, temperature, and moisture influence mosquito populations. The research aims to inform public health strategies regarding vector-borne disease transmission, highlighting the need for integrated land management that prioritizes both ecological health and community safety.
