Presentation Transcript

  1. Wild Bird & Mosquito Surveillance Along the Atlantic Flyway

  2. WNV Investigations • Which bird species are the primary carriers? • Are mosquitoes spreading virus at stopovers along the Flyway(s)? • Where are the breeding sites of the suspect birds? • Can we model (predict) occurrence and spread of WNV?

  3. Avian Surveillance Data for New Jersey

  4. Conclusions • WNV has spread farther and faster than expected. • Dynamics of the occurrence and movement of WNV are not well understood. • More precise geographic locations of WNV birds enables better characterization of WNV activity.
