  1. Surveillance and Control Procedures for West Nile Virus Vectors Near Naval Installations in the Eastern United States CDR K.J. Stein&CDR D.M. Clabornsteinkj@earthlink.net DVECC JAX Jacksonville, FL February 10, 2004

  2. Objectives • Develop local WNV surveillance and control that mirrors regional programs • To incorporate survey data into NDVECC JAX surveillance and control plan • To extend our knowledge with regard to mosquito IPM/abatement programs

  4. Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest

  5. Mid-Atlantic, South, and Southeast

  6. Survey—Response Plans • 44% exceeded response plan criteria • 40% matched response plan criteria • 8% followed CDC guidance • One state did not have a response plan • One state contracted its response plan

  7. Survey—Adult Surveillance • 68-76% - CDC miniatures baited w/CO2 and CDC gravid traps • 44% - New Jersey traps • 32% - Fay-Prince traps • 8% - EVS • 4% - Mosquito Magnet

  8. Survey—Adult Decision-Making • 52% landing rates or trap thresholds, or both • 24% positive pools • 12% did not use positive pools • 12% did not survey

  9. Survey—Larval Thresholds • 24% - larval data--no uniformity among thresholds • 16% - larval presence • 44% - historical databases and abiotic variables • 12% - no larval surveillance

  10. Survey—Decision-Making • 92% - dead bird data in their programs • 8% - discontinued mosquito testing rely on dead birds • 72% - nuisance complaints • 28% - sentinel chickens, some discontinued • 64% - human serosurvey data • 36% - discontinued human serosurveys

  11. Survey—Adult Control • 11 permethrin • 9 sumithrin • 6 resmethrin • 5 malathion • 5 naled • 3 pyrethrin • 1 fenthion • 4 no insecticide use

  12. Adulticides (%)

  13. Survey Highlights— Larval Control • BTI and methoprene - 20 and 13,respectively (granules and dunks) • B. sphaericus - 9 • Temephos - 4 • Oils - 7 • Monomolecular films - 3 • Gambusia - 2 • No larval control but source reduction - 2

  14. Larvicides (%)

  15. Survey Highlights— Management • 60% - GIS for mapping birds, mosquito traps, and directing aerial spray programs • 32% - did not use GIS • 8% - recently acquired GIS

  16. Survey Highlights— Management • 84% conducted source reduction: ditching, dredging, removing standing water, channelizing swamps, and shredding of used tires • 88% relied on public awareness campaigns: community meetings, press releases, radio and TV public service announcements, brochures, and LISTSERVS • 8% complained of environmental regulations that interfered with mosquito management

  17. Survey Highlights— Management • 1 - Public awareness was major part of IPM • 1 - Did not use public awareness • 1 - NJ light traps to homeowners • 1 - Gambusia to stock in ponds

  18. Survey—Mosquitoes

  19. Conclusion • More resources directed towards adults than larvae • Three respondents dropping mosquito surveillance and relying on dead birds • Dead birds and human serology data • Adults - synthetic pyrethroids replacing organophosphates • Larvae - microbials and IGRs most popular

  20. Conclusion • If WNV is a surrogate for other emerging diseases, we must ensure that current efforts are effective, • Conserve techniques that have worked in the past • Additional studies that involve feedback and focus on the quantitative aspects of mosquito surveillance and control through time
