Mosquito control in Ilparpa Swamp - a big step forward
2002
In the Northern Territory (NT) mosquito monitoring and control is vital to reduce the potential public health risk of mosquito borne disease such as Murray Valley Encephalitis (MVE) and Ross River Virus disease (RRV). In all major towns throughout the NT mosquito monitoring and control programs are established by the Medical Entomology Branch (MEB) in liaison with local Environmental Health officers, and local government or mining company environmental officers. To further reduce the potential risk of mosquito borne disease a major goal of the MEB program is the reduction and management of mosquito breeding habitat in the vicinity of residential areas.
