  1. Review USDA-ARS Center for Medical, Agriculture and Veterinary Entomology (CMAVE) in the Deployed War-Fighter Protection (DWFP) ProgramIntroduction Kenneth J. LinthicumCenter Director, CMAVE

  2. CMAVE • 4 Research Units • 60 Scientists and 150 Support Personnel • 150,000 Ft2 Research Facility on 10 Acres of Federal Property • Located adjacent to University of Florida

  3. CMAVE Research Units Supporting DWFP Research • Behavior and Biocontrol John M. Sivinski, Research Leader • Chemisty Peter E. A. Teal, Research Leader • Imported Fire Ants Robert K. Vander Meer, Research Leader • Mosquito and Fly Gary Clark, Research Leader

  4. Mosquito and Fly Research Unit DWFP Major Research Areas Novel insecticide chemistries or formulations Personal protection Application technology

  5. OBJECTIVEDevelop Novel Control Methods to ProtectDeployed Military Personnel from Vectors • Discover, evaluate and develop new candidate adulticides effective against mosquitoes and flies. • Discover, evaluate and develop new candidate chemicals effective in preventing mosquitoes and flies from biting deployed personnel. • Optimize use of candidate chemicals for mosquito/fly control and personal protection to serve military needs. • Devise and develop "attract and kill" management systems for mosquitoes and flies. • Discover, evaluate and develop new personal protection strategies.

  6. 1. Novel insecticide chemistries or formulations 1.1. New compounds 1.2. Native plants compounds 1.3. Physiological responses to new compounds

  7. 2. Personal protection 2.1 Revaluation of “old” repellents 2.2 Sustained release repellents 2.3 Spatial repellent in military tents 2.4 Repellent-treated uniforms, fabrics and tent materials 2.5 Sand fly protection 2.6 Fly traps and baits 2.7 Repellents and inhibitors against infected mosquitoes

  8. 3. Application technology 3.1 Pesticides on natural barriers 3.2 Barrier treatments in Anopheles habitats 3.3 Barrier treatments in desert habitat 3.4 Repellents, inhibitors, and barrier treatments in Sub-Saharan habitat 3.5 Repellents, inhibitors, and barrier treatments in humid tropical habitat 3.6 Portable devices for detection and quantification of insecticides, repellents and inhibitors 3.7 Electrostatic and other sprayers 3.8 Thermal fog machines 3.9 Insecticide-treated visual targets for flies 3.10 Mosquito coils

  9. 4. General support for DWFP 4.1 New insecticidal compounds - Univ. of Florida, Gainesville, FL 4.2 New insecticidal neuropeptides - APMRU, College Station, TX 4.3 Application methods - Navy-NECE, Jacksonville, FL 4.4 New toxicants and repellents - CAIBL, Beltsville, MD 4.5 Sand fly rearing - WRAIR, Washington, DC

  10. DWFP in MFRU:Research Areas • Novel insecticide chemistries or formulations (Drs. Pridgeon, Cooperband, and Quinn) 2. Personal protection (Dr. Bernier) • Application technology (Drs. Kline, Geden) 4. General support for DWFP
