Zika virus has been a highlight in the media over the last few months. With the public concerned, many communities are paying greater attention to how they protect their residents from mosquito-borne diseases this summer.
The city of Jonesboro, Arkansas is already preparing for the 2016 mosquito season. The city’s sponsored public affairs program “Let’s Talk, Jonesboro!” featured Jim Stark, a member of the Vector Disease Control International (VDCI) team, to provide details.
VDCI has maintained an Integrated Mosquito Management (IMM) partnership with the city for over 20 years. An integral part of the successful IMM relationship is VDCI’s Contract Supervisor, Jim Stark. The VDCI and Jonesboro relationship took a one-year hiatus. With the community feeling the “bite” that season they quickly returned to the experts at VDCI. Jim spoke with host Roy Ockert Jr. about Zika virus, the importance of knowing the different species of mosquitoes in your community, where they breed, and most importantly, educating the public on how they can contribute to a reduced population.
