Changes in Wing Beats

With this issue Wing Beats enshyters a new era First Dennis Moore of the Lee County Mosshyquito Control District in Ft Myers Florida is the new Editorshyin-Chief Founding Editor-inshyChief Dr Charlie Morris of the Florida Medical Entomology Lab of the University of Florida is now the Managing Editor Dennis will work with Advertisers Column Editors Regional Editors and a newly established Editorial Reshyview Board to find new articles and determine the content of each issue Charlie will do the layout nanage the mailing list and work Nith the printer distributor and authors There has also been a change in the policy regulating the distribution of the magazine

Benefits of Changes

These changes have several positive outcomes First the cost to produce the magazine will be less than when layout and advershytiser solicitation were done by contract Eliminating the profit component of production allows us to lower advertiser rates for companies that are sustaining members of the FMCA and for advertising in all four issues in a calender year Second Wing Beats will be distributed free of charge via bulk mail to anyone in the United States wishing to receive it The sole purpose of the magazine is as an educational document here is no requirement to be a

member of any organization to receive it Subscriptions are avail-

Anew able to foreign addresses for the cost of first class mailings

Because of the change in distribution policy the number of people receiving the magazine has increased from 1800 for the last issue to 3000 for this issue This is because 18 state and reshygional mosquito control associashytions have opted to have their membership receive Wing Beats A membership that by-in-large was ineligible to receive the magazine in the past Is your mosquito control association listed on the accompanying sidebar

A National Magazine

Wing Beats has always been a national publication though it was produced by the Florida group While there have been many articles in the magazine from authors outside Florida and the US we have only two editors outside Florida One is Dr Charles Apperson of the U of North Carolina who has edited the Biosynopsis column since its conception The other a newshycomer is Bill Reinert of New J ershysey our first Regional Editor This letter is an open invitation for anyshyone who is interested in becoming either a Column Editor for a new coluqm or a Regional Editor to get in touch with us Through the Regional Editors we hope to inshycrease the number of articles writshyten by non-Florida mosquito conshytrollers and thus get a complete picture of mosquito control in the United States If we have 10 or 12 Regional Editors each would only

need to find one article a year and they don t have to write it themshyselves

The Dark Pasture Mosquito

IMPORTANCE

Aedes nigromaculis (Ludlow) is a fierce biter and was once the principal pest species throughou~ most of the Central Valley of Cahshyfornia Although it has not been incriminated as a disease vector laboratory experiments show it is capable of transmi~ting s~veral arthropod-borne vuuses mcludshying western equine encephal~~yshyelitis and California encephahhs It was the first mosquito in Calishyfornia to develop resistance to DDT and by the 1970s had beshycome resistant to most organoshyphosphate and organochlorine insecticides Once extremely abundant populations of Ae nigromaculis in California have declined since the late 1970s pershyhaps due to improved water manshyagement practices

[ GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION )

The range of Ae nigromaculis covers most of the United States west of the Mississippi River north to Manitoba and south to Central Mexico This species was unknown in California prior to 1937 but quickly spread and beshycame the predominant pasture mosquito throughout much of the Central Valley

[ IDENTIFICATION

Larvae have a complete saddle uneven pecten row and the siphon tuft inserted towards the tip of the siphon Adults have tarsal segments basally ringed with white scales and often a pale me dial ring on the proboscis Aedes

8 U~ geaf4- Spring 1996

Aedes nigromaculis

mgromaculis is considered closely related to Ae sollicitans (Walker) the eastern salt marsh mosquito although no natural hybrids have been reported

[ IMMATURE BIOLOGY

Before human development changed the landscape Ae nigromaculis probably bred m temporary rain pools However as its name implies 1t IS now tJpishycally associated with temporanly flooded irrigated pastures Eggs are commonly laid on clumps of bunch grass A small percentage of eggs require se~eral floodmg and drying cycles m order to hatch Completion of developshyment typically takes six to ten days but can take as little as f~ur days when temperatures are h1gh

Aedes nigromaculis is often found in association with Ae melanimon Dyar The two species differ slightly in their salinity and temperature t~lerance s~ch th~t Ae nigromaculzs predommates m water of somewhat lower salinity during the warm midsummer months and Ae melanimon preshydominates both earlier and later in the season Aedes nigromaculis is able to exploit more ephemeral habitats than Ae melanimon due to ~ somewhat faster developshyment rate

(~~~A~o_uL_T_B_E_H_A_VI_O~R--~) Males emerge before females

and form mating swarms at dawn and dusk Most flight activity

also occurs at dawn and dusk Aedes nigromaculis does not mate willingly in captivity s~ la~orashytory colonies can be ma1~1tamed only by induced copulation

( BLooomiddot FEEDING )

Host preference studies show that Ae nigromaculis feeds preshydominantly on cattle and to a lesser extent on birds dogs horses humans and sheep Feshymales rna y f1 y several miles for a blood meal and readily disperse from breeding habitats in to populated areas when hosts ~re not available nearby Mass disshypersals of 20 to 30 mil~s have been reported This mosqmto IS

known as a vicious day and dusk biter Most females take a blood meal within four days of emershygence-and oviposit about two days after feeding

SEASONALITY

In California Ae nigromaculis is active from April or May through October with as many as 10 generations per seaso~ Peak adult populations occu m July and August This speoes overshywinters as embryonated eggs with diapause apparently trigshygered by decreasing tempe~atures in the fall and is broken by Inshy

creasing temperatures in the spring

(ankcase Eddie Memphis Belle

~ I dont know if you remember

the movie Memphis Belle but it was about an American bomber during World War II There were a lot of scenes showing the planes flying through flak so thick you would think all the planes would be hit-and many of them were

I couldnt help but relate this to a mosquito trying to fly through an aerosol cloud How many droplets (or flak) were out there and what were the chances of getting through without hitting or being hit by a droplet The inshytrigue and challenge was too great so I had to pull out my trusty slide rule and go to work While mathematics may be borshying stick with this and I think youll find some interesting anshyswers

The question is when sprayshying how many aerosol droplets of a certain size are in a certain area say 1 cubic foot or 1 cubic inch To do this we have to make some assumptions that we all know are not perfectly accurate-but will give us some idea We will asshysume all the droplets are the same diameter in this example 15 mishycrons that our aerosol cloud is of uniform density and covers our swath width evenly to a depth of 16 feet Now we have to switch to the metric system but for this project we only need to know that 1 fluid ounce (oz ) is 2854 cc (cubic centimeters) Lastly we assume the formulation we disshypense will be 43 oz I min at 10 mph and covers exactly a 300 ft swath

12 U~ geltW Spring 1996

I think we all have been through the calculations that at 43 oz I min at 10 mph and a 300 ft swath we are putting out 06666 oz per acre I wont go through that math again We know that there are 43560 square feet per acre and if we fill that acre to a depth of 16ft (we multishyply those two numbers) we come up with a treated area of 696960 cubic feet There are 1728 cubic inches in a cubic foot so that gives us 1204346880 cubic inches in our treated area

In the above figure we are talking over 1 billion cubic inches As we proceed our numbers are going to get somewhat lengthy so just in case you have forgotten your numeration progressions the following may help

and so on undecillion duoshydecillion tredecillion quattuorshydecillion quindecillion sexdecillion septendecillion octodecillion novemdecillion vigintillion-by now you cant get all the zeros printed sideways on a roll of fax paper

To know how many 15 micron size droplets are in a cubic inch we have to first know the volume of one droplet Since a small drop traveling through the atmosphere

tends to be sphericat the formula to calculate this is (note that as our numbers get too long to use we have to calculate using scienshytific notation-but I ll print out the long number for you once in a while)

Volume of one 15 micron drop =1 I 6 d3 [1 6 times pi times the diameter cubed]=

V=016666 X 31414 (15 X 10-4) 3

V=05236 X 3375 X 10-12

V=176715 x 10-12 or in other words 000000000176715

Remember back a ways we said there were 2954 cc per oz Welt the above number tells us there is 000000000176715 of one cc in a 15 micron droplet Since we assume one cc and one millilishyter to be the same dividing this number intp one ml means there are 565903956 drops of 15 micron size per ml There are 2954 ml per oz so there are 1666760064024 (over 16 billion) droplets of 15 micron size in one ounce of formulation

Since we are using 06666 ounces per 16 acre feet that means there are 11110622586 (over 11 billion) droplets of 15 micron size in that 16 ft acre If we divide 11)10622586 drops by 696960 cubic feet we find there are 15941 droplets of 15 micron size per cubic foot or 9 drops per cubic inch Remember this only holds true for the flow rate and other parameters we established at the start of this

But what is the right sized droplet to use If we lower our

d roplet size from 15 to 14 mi-c rons just one micron our num-

er of drops per cc increases from 65930956 to 696378830 That is lmost 4 billion more drops per a

0

d unce To go further a 10 micron roplet probably has plenty of

nsecticide in it to kill the mos-uito so why not make the drop-q

1 w w

ets smaller As a matter of fact e know that thermal foggers hich put out 1 and 2 micro rops do an excellent job of con-d

t A rol so why not lower it to that

look at the following table

Droplet size Drops per (microns) cubic centimeter

15 565930956

14 696378830

10 1909854800

shows what effect reducing the droplet size has our droplet count

My slide stick fell out but I think are a little over 7 trillion 2-micro drops per ounce Push that ounce to a gallon and we get about one quadrillion ie (1000000000000000 drops per gal)

See isnt math fun I think you start to get the picture but just to make sure hold up your left hand and put your thumb and

I enjoyed the excellent article Seven Ways to a Successful Dipshyping Career in Wing Beats but thought it would be useful to point out there is another way to dip for mosquitoes other than usshying a dipper John Belkin and I used a small insect net about 512 inches in diameter and about 8 inches deep made of fine mesh You can use all the techniques that Claudia OMalley suggests and you can collect a lot more larshyvae When you take the net out of the water you empty the contents into a small white plastic bowl (with some water in it) Then you can pick out what you want This net is easier to carry than the regular enamel or plastic dipper I use an old auto collapsible radio antenna for the net handle so my whole collecting kit fits into a little pouch that I can carry on my belt

~~PhD Gainesville Florida

In Lawrence Kase s Winter 1995 Wing Beats letter to the edishytor he mentioned a point in the article Bti Revisited by Dr Emile Van Handel Doug Wassmer and Doug Carlson concerning the fact that since Bti is heavier than washyter it has a tendency to settle out in sediments thus being available to the larvae for only a short peshyriod The Wing Beats article stated that a possible formulation improvement which would mimic the release profile of the 1960s Paris Green vermiculite marble dust formulation would be benshyeficial This formulation was deshyveloped by Dr AJ Rogers and

16 1flw- 1ieltW Spring 1996

h a lets

BW Clements then at the Florida Medical Entomology Laboratory in Vero Beach

The problem with any floating granule used to dispense a stomshyach poison which is heavier than water is that if release of the toxishycant to the water is not immedishyate even light winds can blow the granules to the side of the area to be treated thus providing uneven distribution of the chemical In the case of Paris Green this could be readily observed by a green color band on the water bottom next to the shore To solve this problem Rogers and Clements devised a formulation of vermicushylite Paris Green and marble dust stuck together with an oil-surfacshytant release agent mix The amount of marble dust used was sufficient to sink about Y2of the granules As they sank Paris Green and marble dust were reshyleased until equilibrium was achieved They then rose back to the surface thus treating most of the water column This situation allowed for maximum exposure of the mosquito larvae to the larshyvicide Meanwhile the granules remaining on the surface were releasing Paris Green and marble dust as they moved about on the water surface The Wing Beat authors stated that a Bti formushylation with similar release characshyteristics would be a valuable mosquito control tool

In Mr Kase s letter he points out that in his opinion such a Bti product already exists - it is Bactimos Briquets Howshyever valuable a tool Bactimos Bri-

quets may be in some situations they do not function like Paris Green did However they do share one of the same problems as Paris Green unless anchored they can be influenced by wind The authors of Bti Revisited may have been remiss in not pointing out that a floating slowshyrelease product exists for limited container-type applications What the authors should have stated in the article was that there is a continued need for a Paris Green-like releasing product for broad-scale applications For those of us in operational mosshyquito control the primary targets justifying our existence are typishycally mosquitoes produced from large areas such as marshes passhytures and agricultural areas where mosquitoes like Aedes taeniorhync~us and Psorophora columbiae are produced in huge numbers and where briquettes are of no use For adequate larval control in these situations aerial applications frequently using granular materials to provide conshytrol in densely vegetated areas are essential To the best of our knowledge there still is no Bti formulation with a release profile like Paris Green available for broad scale use So the authors did not ignore and try to reinshyvent Summit Bactimos Briquets they simply suggested the continshyued need for a Bti product which releases similarly to the old Paris Green that can be apshyplied aerially to large areas

Paradise Gained The Ritual

There is an air war going on in southwest Florida It s 2 am and the DC-3s are rolling on the tarmac on their way to southern targets There are four of t~1em today the invasion is heav1er and more widespread than normal Slowly they lift off runway 13 onemiddot then another and another Each proceeds to its designated area and at 300 feet above ground levet began spraying adulticides with a two-mile separation beshytween aircraft using 1000-foot swaths It s a short 5-minute flight to most hot zones and the mission will last no more than two hours Then for Chief Pilot Chuck Roderick and his crews it s back to the hanger to await the casualty reports

Its now 645 am and the hand-held radio crackles in the ear of Assistant Director for Opshyerations Don Hogan The reports from the field inspectors under the direction of Chief Inspector Johnny Appezzato are coming in via air waves Marco Island 0 2 0 1 0 and then East Naples 0 0 2 1 and on and on The reports are the same fror_n all target areas few or no mosqmshytoes reported landing on inspecshytors at sites which just yesterday yielded 10 15 and even 25 per minute-excellent control At 830 am entomologist Craig Bonvechio walks in with a handshyful of data sheets and a satisfied look on his face As Hogan reads the reports the satisfaction spreads to his face Its the same story in the 38 light trap collec-

18 W~ ~ Spring 1996

tions operated every night during the annual campaign-excellent control where treatments were made There is only one small

area in the southeast part of the District Henderson Creek where one trap collection of 960 Mansoshynia and 288 Psorophora spoil the perfect record

Reviewing the data Director Dr Frank Van Essen and Hogan quickly decide to send one Hughes 500D to Henderson Creek tonight to clean up five square miles with adulticide As usuat by 10 am the critical mos~uito control business of the day 1s done and soon TV radio airport authorities and law enforcement ag~ncies throughout the area will be notified when and where the aircraft will be operating tonight and tomorrow morning

So goes the daily ritual a_t th_e Collier Mosquito Control D1stnct in Naples Florida The ritual has

by~~ PhD

proven adequate to keep the enshyemy at bay for another day at least The enemy today was the salt marsh mosquito Aedes taeniorhynchus Tomorrow it may be Psorophora or the encephalitisshytransmitting Culex nigripalpus No matter this group of experienced professionals knows the~r enemy and the terrain They w1ll be ready

Ignorant Delight

It s been an early day for Hogan and-I cant resist-his heros but the reward is getting off work at 230 to enjoy the long warm summer days of southwest Florida doing the things Yankees only dream about air boating swamp buggy racing fishing golfing and flying year-round and above all racing stock cars

Pumping-SyStemmiddotmiddot bull ACcuracy

Any source of error in our spray applications is a matter for concern As Ed Meehan pointed out in a Winter 1995 Wing Beats article Air Eddie variation in the speed of the vehicle is one such source Another is found in the pumping system of the sprayer

In the accompanying chart you can see the change in flow proshyduced by an FMI lab pump when there is a change in the voltage supplied to the pump For this test the insecticide pump was set to a flow of 40 oz min when the voltage was 120 vdc Then the woltage was adjusted up and

own while the flow was meashysured The test liquid was a comshymonly used petroleum-oil diluent Bio-Blend 8

In the real world when low engine speeds occur and accessoshyries such as auxiliary lights are operating the voltage at the pump can easily fall to 11 vdc or

less Then as seen in the figure the pump delivers only 36 oz min a 10 decrease At the other extreme if the truck or the sprayers battery is being charged at full rate the voltage at the pump can be 15 vdc Then the pump delivers 488 oz min a 22 increase (see figure again) So the output of the sprayers pump can range between 22 more than you want and 10 less than you want

This situation has several unshydesirable consequences First is an application rate that may conshytribute to resistance and be inefshyfective because it is too low Secshyond is an application that wastes insecticide or is outside the limits of the label because it is too high

Calculate the dollar cost of waste Assume you pay $3500 gallon for a finished mixture If you spray at 4 oz min and the flow error is + 22 then you waste $2444 each hour that you

5-------------------------- spray If you spray about 7 hours a night then you lose $100 a night 48

c-46 E N 44 0 42

Probably anything that you can do to eliminate such an error will pay for itself For instance supshypose you pay $500 to in-pound 4

will force the FMI pump to deliver a constant amount of liquid no matter the voltage or viscosity or fricshytion At $100 per night this circuitry could pay for itself in one week

Any pump-controlling circuitry must do more than just control the voltage supplied to the pump In the chart notice that the slanted line is not straight Between 11 vdc and 12 vdc the liquid flow increased by 04 oz min but beshytween 14 vdc and 15 vdc flow inshycreased by only 02 oz min Mostly this difference results from increasing friction at higher flows The important point is that the controller must look at the speed of the FMI pump and keep it constant (plusmn1 -2 ) a so-called negative feedback system

The CCF controller from Beecomist Systems is such a sysshytem With that installed an applishycator need not be concerned about duplicating exactly the conditions of spraying w hen calibrating the insecticide pump Engine speed truck gear accessory equipment insecticide viscosity density and surface tension wont affect the flow of insecticide

A pump speed controller proshyvides reliable accuracy as well as quick return on investment It can be added to any insecticide deHvery system that has a deshypowered metering pump such as the the FMI lab pump

By-gone Days

It wasnt always that way Naples used to be a ghost town in summers past Summers before 1950 belonged to the massive swarms of saltmarsh mosquitoes that poured in from the Evershyglades and the famous 10000 Isshylands regions to the south and southeast and the freshwater Psorophora and Culex that poured in from the east After high tides came the saltmarsh species after heavy rains the freshwater ones

here was no end until December ~he start of the dry season and the beginning of the snowbird migrashytion that fueled the economy of the upscale community that was and remains the last vestige of civilization on Floridas southshywest coast Next stop Everglades City

The Collier Mosquito Control District was formed in 1950 with Claude Starter as part-time Direcshytor full-time banker a man with many professions Back then the District of six square miles had approximately 1500 residents and a budget of well not much The program grew dramatically durshying the 29-year full-time directorshyship of Brandt Watson from 1959 through 1988 Brant a University of Florida trained entomologist ith a Masters degree changed the way the District did business In the early 60s Watson and the J ther Collier County department directors were investigated by he prominent and affluent

Naples Civic Association The evaluation team which included world class medical entomologist Dr Ken Knight eventually adopted Watsons recommendashytions which served as the format for later development of the Disshytrict Today the county is home to 200000 the district is 243 s~uare miles and the annual opershyatmg budget is over $4 million Personnel and equipment are housed in a new $5 million comshyplex part of the Watson legacy on the west side of the Naples

4- A~-shys__

Municipal Airport The program is financed as an independent special taxing district and its opshyerations are overseen by a 5-memshyber board My how things have changed in Naples in 45 years

Modern Leadership

Not only has the operations part of the program changed the

administration protocols have changed too Twenty-seven year veteran and Assistant Director for Administration Joan Owens has seen it all well most She has seen the mosquito control can do no wrong attitude of the public change to scepticism and alarm at what the citizens and regulatory agencies thought the program was doing As attitudes changed the program changed

Owens thinks Director Van Essen is a man for the 90s He is open works well with commisshysioners delegates responsibility and includes the staff on commit-

tees on Finance Long Range Planshyning Personnel Safety and Public Relations He and the Board proshymote a strong public relations program innovative research and on-going evaluation of technical improvements such as CPSshyguided aircraft computers and PCR Gene Lemire is the Assisshytant Director for Research and Public Education Obviously staying busy is not a problem for Gene Long term plans call for new communications equipment new aircraft and possibly expandshying the district Everybody still wants in on a good thing

Van Essen is a quiet soft sposhyken man slight of build and very personable He can however afford to let his staff do their work without fear of mutiny he is an artist-a martial artist-a 6th deshygree black belt in Cuong Nhu Kashyrate He also rides bikes-real bikes-Hogs (Thats Harley Davidson for you non-riders) Frank keeps his life well balanced through his wife and two kids and by being President of the Naples Kiwanis only part of his community inyolvement

The PhD that follows his name comes from the University of Florida and entomologist Dr Jerry Butler Before that he got a Masters degree at Delaware unshyder Dr Bob Lake and before that a BS at Allegheny College near Pittsburgh Frank did the original lab evaluations of Bti against Ae taeniorhynchus as a civilian at Fort Detrick in the late 70s He also worked for Biochem Products for five years before coming to Collier as an Entomologist in 1986 Two years later he became Director

Mosquito control in Colli~~ is by necessity an aerial adulticidshying program Since 95~ of the mosquito problems fly I~ from extensive wetlands outside the

boundaries of the District it is impossible to control them bY larshyviciding-not that they haven t tried The frequent adulticiding of upwards of 50000 acres or 78 square miles in ~wo ~ours m~y seem inappropnate 111 today s eJshyvironmentally sensitive society It is unusual by today s standards The alternative for Collier County is no mosquito control The ~eavy use of aircraft requires a speCial group of oft-for9otten bu~ essenshytial craftsmen aucraft ma111teshynance personnel You can bet your life the pilots dont forget Chief of Aircraft Maintenance Jay T Wilson and his crew

Conflict

The mandates of 1) a demand for mosquito control by on~ _of the states wealthiest commumties and 2) a demand by state and loshycal environmental agencies and groups to protect the states coshylogical treasures have b~en 111 conflict at times Accordmg to District Board Chairman Rob Boyer the two groups are coopershyating successfully toward a greener mosquito control M1ke Shirley Resource Management Coordinator of the Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Preshyserve couldnt agree more Shirley is impressed by Collier Mosquito Control Districts comshymitment to investigating probshylems that may or may not be reshylated to mosquito control activity Recent indications that aerial sprays of fenthion may h~ve conshytributed to fiddler crab die-offs led to the Districts contribution to a cooperative research project with NOAA the Mote Marine Laborashytory in Sarasota Florida and Rookshyery Bay Shirley is also impressed with the Districts interest and participation in developing innoshyvative nonchemical methods of control for a new upscale commushynity that borders the Preserve

More Nuts In reality the extensive aerial

spraying is not done over wetlan preserves its done for the most part over wooded and sparsely populated areas The aerial treatshyments are 90-95 effective against Psorophora and saltmarsh mosquishytoes and about 70 effective against Culex The early mo~ning timing (2-4 am) of the applicashytions of ~ to 1 ounce Baytexreg UL V per acre is ideal to avoid treating people honey bees and most other beneficial insects The weather before dawn is ideal for spraying 99 of the time The winds are light it avoids the typishycal Florida mid-afternoon rain cycle fogs dont form until about 4 am and there are no temperashyture inversions to carry the spray out of the target area

Because many of the mosquishytoes causing the problems migrate into the area the adulticiding treatments affect only a small por tion of the breeding mosquito population consequently there has been no build up of resistance

to the insecticides The only spraying over majo~ re~ident~al areas is limited larvic1d111g with

Psst Stay Alert

The major hazards to nightshyflying are towers and construction booms both of which seem to pop up overnight These potentially deadly needles are avoided by routine daytime reconnaissance of target areas Collier County has also given the mosquito control district zoning approval of new towers and the County will 11 ticket construction booms if they fail to lower them at night according to County regulations The District tries to group towers so as not to restrict where the DC-3s can operate The more areas with towers the more they must rely on helicopters Another drawback to night flying is awakshyening new residents who live unshyder the aircraft turning points Startled at first they soon realize the sounds are the good guys and eventually the sound becomes white noise to the sleeping citishyzenry

Since treatments are based on need as established and docushymented by landing rates trap counts service requests and monitoring tides and rainfall the number of missions is highly varishyable from year to year In 1995 there were only 22 missions with the DC-3s and another 40 or so mop-ups with the helicopters During a bad mosquito year there

may be 4-5 flights (both fixed and rotary aircraft) a week from May to November The result is the same few or no mosquitoes to pester or transmit viral encephalishytis to people A workable comshypromise has evolved to protect both the ecosystem and all its inshyhabitants and thus it seems we have reached the end of our story Not quite

The Future

To the outsider it may appear that the final goal of mosquito control in Collier County has been reached To Director Van Essen and the Board of Directors proshygram evolution continues The District has supported research since Watson hired Scott Ritchie in the early 80s and paid to send him to the University of Florida for a PhD degree while working summers for the District

Today s strong research effort continues with staff entomoloshygists Gene Lemire and Dr Jeff Stivers and through cooperative projects with Dr Dan Kline of the USDAs Medical and Veterishynary Entomology Research Laboshyratory in Gainesville and with Dr Eric Schreiber and Dr Noor Tietze of Florida AM Universitys Mulrennan Research Lab in Panama City The objectives of these programs are to explore new ways to control mosquitoes using less or no insecticide to exshyplore the possibility of using bioshylogical control agents and to enshysure that what they are doing toshyday is not causing permanent damage to nonmosquito organshyisms Clearly 45 years of intenshysive mosquito control have not caused permanent damage to the mosquito population as evishydenced by the fact that if one mosshyquito brood goes uncontrolled the Neapolitans revolt

The District also supports reshysearch by Dr Dov Borovsky of the University of Floridas Florida Medical Entomology Lab in Vera Beach Borovsky is evaluating new PCR technology for monitorshying St Louis and eastern encephashylitis viruses in mosquitoes Chairshyman Boyer puts research at the top of his II do more list He feels that all mosquito control proshygrams should put at least 5 of their budgets into research trying to develop new and innovative control methods using either their own staffs or through reshysearch centers Collier Mosquito Control District is certainly leadshying the way in this respect

Hey Yall

To the descendants of those 1940s visitors and others who think it is not possible to live in southwest Florida because of the mosquitoes the 28 staff members of the Collier Mosquito Control District say Come on down By the year 2000 another 50000 people will have staked their claim to a part of the former holdshyings of Barr~m G Collier and thus their paradise gained
