    Area of Science:

    • Environmental Science
    • Urban Ecology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Mosquito-borne diseases pose significant public health risks.
    • Understanding mosquito population dynamics is crucial for effective control strategies.
    • Coupled natural-human systems approaches are increasingly used to study complex environmental issues.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the effectiveness of a citizen science program in collecting mosquito-related data.
    • To understand the drivers of mosquito population density and pathogen exposure in urban environments.
    • To evaluate the role of human behavior and urban factors in mosquito ecology.

    Main Methods:

    • A 2-year citizen science program, Mosquito Stoppers, was implemented in West Baltimore.
    • Participants were recruited through community outreach and received minimal training.
    • Citizen scientists conducted yard surveys for mosquito habitats and assessed mosquito nuisance levels.

    Main Results:

    • Citizen scientists accurately collected data comparable to researcher-generated datasets.
    • The collected data reflected trends in mosquito population density and habitat variability.
    • Community participation provided valuable insights into local mosquito issues.

    Conclusions:

    • Citizen science is a viable method for collecting reliable ecological data.
    • Community engagement can enhance our understanding of urban mosquito populations.
    • The Mosquito Stoppers project demonstrates the potential of citizen science in public health and environmental research.
