π¦ CSI: Mosquito Edition π¦
When two of our Sentinel Chickens tested positive for West Nile Virus, our team immediately went to work.
AMCD staff investigated the area, searched for mosquito breeding sites, and collected mosquitoes for laboratory testing. During the investigation, they discovered a hidden breeding site that will be eliminated to help reduce future mosquito populations.
The mosquitoes collected in the field are identified, tested for West Nile Virus, and used to help us track virus activity in our community. This information helps us target mosquito control efforts where they are needed most and better protect public health.
Science in the field. Science in the lab. Protecting our community every day.
