Options for Controlling Mosquito Transmitted Diseases

A presentation by

Until the early 1800’s, there were no mosquitoes in Hawai‘i. Mosquito transmitted disease is now responsible for the decline and extinction of many of our native birds, and other types of mosquito borne disease are a threat to humans as well. Dr. Sutton will discuss efforts that are being made to combat this ongoing problem, and will describe strategies that have thepotential to suppress and even eliminate disease carrying mosquitoes in Hawai‘i.
