Our team of scientists evaluate mosquito control methods and partner with U.S. federal agencies and national and international universities and academic institutions

AMCD has a team of scientists who evaluate the efficacy of existing and new mosquito control methods that will allow us to be good environmental stewards and reduce our District’s operational costs all while promoting and protecting public health. Our goal is for AMCD to become a state, national, and global leader in mosquito control. We are equipped with three insectaries, four laboratories, two greenhouses, three screened enclosures, multiple larval pools, a wind tunnel, an olfactometer, and a laser laboratory to aid us in this endeavor.

AMCD partners with the United States Department of Agriculture, the Department of Defense, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Goods, the University of Florida, the University of Miami, the University of North Florida, and other academic institutions both nationally and internationally.
