Mosquito Control Common pest species – Aedes vexans – Aedes cinereus – Aedes trivittatus – Coquillettidia perturbans Mosquito-borne illnesses – LAC ( Aedes triseriatus ) – JCV ( Aedes species) – WEE ( Culex tarsalis ) – EEE ( Culiseta melanura ) – WNV ( Culex pipiens , restuans ) – Zika ( Aedes albopictus )
Larval Control Methoprene Bti Spinosad
Adult Control
La Crosse Virus (LAC) Primarily in children Vector: Aedes triseriatus Possible vector: Aedes japonicus Source reduction (tires, treeholes, containers) Public education
Jamestow n Canyon (JCV) Jamestown Canyon virus is an illness that is transmitted to people through the bite of an infected mosquito. The virus is a Bunyavirus within the California serogroup and is closely related to La Crosse encephalitis virus. Symptoms may include: fever headache flu-like illness Severe cases involving the Central Nervous System (CNS) may include meningitis (inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain) or encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Treatment for Jamestown Canyon virus involves supportive care until the illness resolves.
Jamestow n Canyon (JCV) Aedes Species Deer, Moose, Elk
West Nile Virus (WNV) Culex tarsalis Culex restuans Culex pipiens
Mosquito-borne Disease (Human Cases in Mn) Year La Crosse Jamestown West Nile Canyon 2018 0 Cases 8 Cases 63 Cases (0 District) (2 District) (19 District) 2017 1 Cases 17 Cases 30 Cases (0 District) (4 District) (8 District)
Tick-borne Disease MMCD monitors the distribution of deer ticks in the metropolitan area Public education is the main focus to reduce the risk of tick transmitted diseases
Black fly (gnat) Control Larval surveillance and control in District area streams Larval surveillance and control in the Rum, Crow, Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers Adult surveillance throughout the District
Plans for 2019 Manage budget and expenditures with a goal of maintaining service levels while minimizing impact on metro taxpayers in the near and long term Emphasize disease risk reduction services including responding to new vector-borne diseases Evaluate how the District’s Control Programs can respond more flexibly to increased weather variability Creating a Sustainability Program at the District Implement long term succession planning and key employee retention
