Abstract:
The emergence of West Nile virus in the United States renewed vigilance for mosquito-borne diseases and rejuvenated mosquito surveillance activities in Washington State. As part of these activities, the Zoonotic Disease Program, Washington Department of Health, and the United States Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine-West collaborated to produce this revision of the distribution of mosquitoes in Washington State. Data from these organizations, the US Air Force, and county surveillance records, as well as published literature and mosquito collections, were used to develop this statewide mosquito distribution checklist.
