Welcome to Module 3 Larval Mosquito Surveillance of the AMCA Best Practices for Integrated Mosquito Management Virtual Training Program. This training program will provide you with the knowledge needed to understand and conduct Integrated Mosquito Management (IMM); including topics such as mosquito biology and the five main components of IMM: community engagement, collecting and using data, reducing potential larval habitat, using all control methods available and reasonable, and regularly evaluating the efficacy of the program.

Specifically, this module will cover:

• Biology and morphology of immature mosquitoes
• Mosquito larval habitats and life histories
• Tools used for immature surveillance
• Types of data to collect
• Storing and using immature surveillance data
