222 - Changes: A 66-yr historical record of the Minneapolis/St. Paul mosquito fauna including notes on range shifts of Minnesota species

Thursday, March 6, 2025

9:10 AM – 9:20 AM AST

Location: 202

Abstract: The Metropolitan Mosquito Control District, created in 1958, includes the 7 counties of the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area. From the beginning, surveillance has been the foundation of our program. Over our 66 yr, larval surveillance has remained the same, but adult surveillance strategies have changed and been improved upon. The mosquito fauna has also changed, primarily through introductions of non-native species, range expansion, as well as through extirpation. Notable changes in the fauna are discussed with an emphasis on the past 20 yr.
