VMCA shares notes on viral "Mosquito Bucket of Doom"
While VMCA advocates and commends public involvement with regards to mosquito control, we do not encourage the use of the “Mosquito Bucket of Doom” for the reasons listed here.
AMCA & CDC need your help!
With the recent emergence of Oropouche virus (OROV) as a potential public health concern in the US, AMCA is working with the CDC to collect surveillance data on the primary vector, Culicoides paraensis.
AMCA needs districts that are willing to place modified CDC light traps each week and help determine the distribution of potential OROV vectors within the US.
