  1. Mosquito Control and GIS – The Hamilton County Experience Dan Walker, MPH March 8, 2006

  2. Mosquito Control • Reason: Program initiated in response to West Nile Virus • Purpose: To develop a program to prevent arbovirus disease transmission to the human population

  3. Mosquito Life Cycle Adulticiding Larviciding

  4. Locating Breeding Sites • Resident complaints • Aerial photography • Field work

  5. No Stick Pins • GeoExplorer 3, GeoXT: collect data • GPS Pathfinder: process data • ArcView: analyze/manage data • POSSE: manage office/field workflow

  6. Source: CDC 2006

  7. Data Collection • Data related to the breeding site is entered into a workflow management software • Join is created in ArcMap to view details that were entered in software • Relate is created to view records from the breeding site

  8. Adulticiding • Determine when to adulticide from monitoring and surveillance • Mosquitoes that test positive for WNV or SLE • Dead bird surveillance • Large trap collections of nuisance mosquitoes
