Description
Welcome to Module 4 Adult 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.
Note, that this module is part of a larger program, and if you are interested in completing the AMCA Best Practices for Integrated Mosquito Management Virtual Training Program Certificate, you MUST do this module within the overall program.

Diann Crane, M.S. Related Seminars and Products
Diann Crane is the Entomologist at the Metropolitan Mosquito Control District in St. Paul, MN and has been with the district for 38 years. Her love of aquatic biology fits perfectly at MMCD where she manages the entomology lab and coordinates surveillance for the district. While working full-time, Diann received her M.S. Her research included a two-year survey of the mosquitoes in a central Minnesota state park. She also led a study that evaluated nontarget effects of Natular in spring, ephemeral pools. She has logged thousands of hours of microscope time and is amazed daily by the many beautiful insects she sees. Crane’s favorite mosquito is Uranotaenia sapphirina.
Chris Fredregill, M.S. Related Seminars and Products
Chris Fredregill is a Vector Specialist with Target Specialty Products supporting vector control agencies in their mosquito sampling and control efforts. He has over 20 years of vector control experience and has responded to several mosquito-borne disease threats as well as hurricanes, tropical storms, and floods. Prior to joining Target Specialty Products, Fredregill served as the Director of the Harris County Mosquito & Vector Control Division, where he integrated innovative vector control strategies ultimately increasing operational efficiencies and the equitable delivery of vector control services. When not chasing mosquitoes, he spends his time with his wife Kim chasing their 4-year-old and 2-year-old boys.
