Oropouche Virus Vector Surveillance

---

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. If you are interested in participating and/or in need of assistance, please contact AMCA Technical Advisor Dan Markowski, AMCA.TA@mosquito.org

Per the article, "OROV Surveillance Update", in the summer 2025 edition of The Skeeter, Dan Markowski reports that, "For any program collecting samples, CDC is readily accepting your samples directly. We just ask that you email them first to alert their office to specimen arrival. All samples can be sent to:

Dominic Rose, PhD

Research Entomologist

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Division of Vector-borne Diseases

Arboviral Diseases Branch

3156 Rampart Road

Fort Collins, CO 80521

lvd9@cdc.gov

Samples can be shipped at your convenience, even all at once at the end of the season."
