Weekly measurements of mosquito larvae and adults in a CSO stream.

Based on records from the Georgia Department of Public Health we are currently analyzing the spatial pattern of WNV infection in humans, birds and mosquitoes for the period 2001-2007..

In a laboratory experiment, we are testing the effect of CSO water, compared to tap water, on the fitness of immature mosquitoes.

Tanyard Creek is monitored at specified intervals after an overflow  in order to determine the relationships between water quality and mosquito density.

In a semi-natural experiment, we are examining female oviposition preference in CSO water, tap water, and tap water with added nutrients.
