Measuring mosquito dispersal for control programs

C D Morris et al. J Am Mosq Control Assoc. 1991 Dec.

Abstract

Simple and economic methods were developed for control programs to demonstrate the movement of mosquitoes from a breeding source to residential areas. Using mark-release-recapture methods and examples, mean, median and maximum distances traveled were estimated or observed and compared for 11 species produced in a wastewater treatment facility near Lakeland, FL. The applicability of these methods and data interpretation for operational mosquito control programs are discussed.
