🌍Climate change is spreading WNV, EEE, malaria, & dengue via different mosquito vectors. With recent cases in DC and MA, the threat is real. #Vectech uses AI & expert surveillance to identify mosquitoes & detect viruses to ensure communities are properly prepared.🦟#PublicHealth
Our CEO Tristan Ford shared updates on Vectech's AI tools for vector surveillance at the 19th Annual Arbovirus Surveillance & Mosquito Control Workshop in St Augustine, FL this week. Thanks to Anastasia Mosquito Control District for hosting an incredible meeting!
Last week, our entomologist Roy Faiman traveled to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania for the 20th Annual North American Black Fly Association (NABFA) Meeting. Dr. Peter Adler's Black Fly taxonomy workshop was a highlight of the trip. So much to learn!

•Hearing how climate change and especially rain fall is changing the mosquito species diversity and abundance, and how increased warming is pushing southern species northward.
•Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) is on the rise, vectored by multiple mosquito species likely too.
Highlights from the meeting included:
•Roy Faiman presented on advancements with the IDX and how #AI can support better data collection for #mosquitosurveillance programs
