Next Board Meeting:
Interactive Program for Teaching Adult Mosquito Morphology
The Armed Forces Pest Management Board (AFPMB) announces the availability of a new DVD entitled “Interactive Program for Teaching Adult Mosquito Morphology.” This educational teaching tool is designed to provide a self-paced course of instruction that will enable medical personnel to confidently identify adult mosquitoes in the absence of a professional mosquito taxonomist. The program comprises four parts: a tutorial in adult mosquito morphology; student identification practice using 40 specimens; a glossary of adult mosquito morphology; and a collection of over 400 diagrams of adult mosquitoes to assist the user in learning and identification. The program was developed by Dr. George W. Schultz [Commander, U.S. Navy (Retired)], with assistance from AFPMB Staff Members Dr. Richard G. Robbins and Mr. David W. Hill.
