PREVIOUSLY RECORDED WEBINAR

DESCRIPTION

In the US, more than 15 different infectious diseases are transmitted by mosquitoes and cases of mosquito-borne diseases have been steadily rising in the past decade. A robust surveillance of circulating mosquitoes is essential to determine the geographical distribution, diseases transmission risk, and to develop and monitor mosquito control activities. The webinar will provide an overview of the Florida Department of Health’s sentinel chicken surveillance program, an environmental surveillance tool that can help public health officials understand their regional mosquito transmission and provide information for mosquito control to be more effective.

OBJECTIVES

At the conclusion of the program, the participant will be able to:

Illustrate the importance of mosquito borne diseases in the United States
Describe the sentinel chicken surveillance method of mosquito borne disease transmission
Identify public health applications of the sentinel chicken surveillance program
