Collaboration and Innovation: CDCs COE Partnerships with AMCA Professionals Symposium I
Collaboration and Innovation: CDCs COE Partnerships with AMCA Professionals Symposium I
Since the initial formation of the Midwest Center of Excellence in Vector-Borne Disease, the North Shore Mosquito Abatement District (NSMAD) in Northfield, Illinois has collaborated on a variety of projects that have greatly improved our operational response to vector-borne disease within our district. From the development of larval and adult resistance monitoring, to the exploration of new wide-area larval control methods, to the retrospective analysis of historical surveillance data, each of these projects has changed how the NSMAD operates. This talk will focus on key projects and collaborations undertaken between the MCE-VBD and the NSMAD with an emphasis on projects that led to fundamental operational change.
