Nowhere is this more apparent than in the Sunshine State. On one level, it is an epic struggle of one species (Homo sapiens) to annihilate a taxonomic family (Culcidae). Until the twentieth century, this war was most often fought in the dark in lonely, one-on-one (more often many mosquitoes against one human being), hand-to-hand (ankle, neck, or whatever body part was exposed) combat. Florida and Floridians have played a unique role in the war against six-legged-bloodsucking pests. Participants will learn how mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, yellow fever, and dengue influenced Florida's development. Special attention will be given to the role of emerging pathogens such as Zika and new control techniques in the twenty-first century. Finally, this presentation will answer the question of why some people get bit more than others. This presenter will be speaking remotely.
