Surveillance: Detection and Monitoring

The degree that a community can effectively control disease depends on the ability to detect and monitor disease progress. Our history has included the development of mosquito population surveillance techniques and the surveillance of arboviral disease. These two components continue to play a role in the Center's activities as well as provide a foundation for the development of a risk analysis model of arboviral activity and threat in the State of New Jersey. Cooperation through numerous partnerships have led to the development of various portions of the surveillance programs that the Center conducts.

Surveillance Reports are currently produced for:

• The Surveillance of Vector-borne Arboviruses (Eastern Equine Encephalitic virus and West Nile virus)

• The Surveillance of Adult Mosquito Populations (in New Jersey Light Traps)

Reports are in pdf format. Free reader is available at adobe.com
