A new study conducted by environmental life sciences PhD candidate, Josh Kalmouni and professor Krijn Paaijmans from Arizona State Universityā€™s School of Life Sciences and Center for Evolution and Medicine and the Maricopa County Environmental Services Department reveals critical insights into how temperature and mosquito behavior influence the effectiveness of insecticides in controlling mosquitoes that transmit West Nile virus (WNV). With WNV being the leading mosquito-borne disease in the United States, the findings could significantly impact public health strategies aimed at reducing mosquito populations and disease transmission.
