| Although daily weather and seasonal to inter-annual climatic variability influence mosquito vector biology and risk of vector-borne disease, this information is not readily employed in disease control programs. We have recently begun a study that seeks to bridge this divide. It integrates the expertise of climatologists, entomologists, risk communication experts, and public health & vector control professionals to develop a system for predicting and monitoring risk of mosquito vectors, West Nile virus (WNV) transmission, and human health risk that will be readily usable by public health professionals for decision-making.
