Adult Vector Control and Vector-Borne Diseases Surveillance

Location: 208 A
Abstract: Lee County, Florida continues to experience an increasing number of travel related arbovirus cases each year. With an abundance of reported cases, there is an increasing need for robust mosquito-borne disease response plans. Lee County Mosquito Control District has worked to refine the districts arbovirus plans as well as develop standardized procedures for conducting door-to-door inspections. Keeping up with an increasing number of cases has proven challenging as resources are strained and diverted away from routine control efforts. As the frequency of cases continues to rise, it is crucial we learn from each other and become better prepared to respond. This case study seeks to share experiences as one district works to face an ever-growing challenge.
