Summary
Arthropod borne diseases are important modes for transmission of pathogenic microbes to man and animal and their interactive environment. Mosquito's are the vectors for transmission of heartworms in dogs, which is endemic in many states in the U.S., Eastern and Western Equine Encephalitis in birds,horses and man, West Nile viruses and many other significant diseases
Analysis
The finding of a predictive model for mosquito outbreaks could be significant to federal, state and local public health organizations to consider preventative measures for insect vector control.
Industry would be impacted due to the need for effective chemical, biological parasiticide and possibly increased needs for vaccines.
