Abstract
Between September 2024 to January 2026, 100 professionals working with mosquito and/or tick vectors and located primarily in the upper Midwest of the United States were interviewed. These interviews were used to assess the work performed in the region and to highlight successes and challenges of the work. The results suggest that collaboration within and across agencies is a strength, whereas a major challenge is that the public and politicians do not understand or appreciate the importance of their work in vector surveillance, vector control, and public outreach.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association (JAMCA) encourages the submission
of previously unpublished manuscripts contributing to the advancement of knowledge of
mosquitoes and other arthropod vectors. The Journal encourages submission of a wide range of
scientific studies that include all aspects of biology, ecology, systematics, and integrated pest
management. Manuscripts exceeding normal length (e. g., monographs) may be accepted for
publication as a supplement to the regular issue.
