Fact Sheet: Mayaro Virus

Lawrence Reeves, Lindsay P. Campbell

Mayaro virus (MAYV) can be spread from mosquitoes to humans. The geographic distribution of Mayaro virus is expanding from South and Central America into the Caribbean Islands, which means that, under the right conditions, this virus could one day become important to Florida. This publication is intended to serve as a fact sheet communicating information about MAYV to researchers and stakeholders in mosquito control and public health professions and to the general public.

Fact Sheet: West Nile virus

Lawrence E. Reeves andLindsay Campbell

Introduced to the United States in 1999, West Nile virus (WNV) is transmitted from mosquitoes to humans and equines. With over 52,000 reported human infections, it is the most frequent cause of mosquito-borne disease in the continental United States. Many mosquito species can transmit WNV, and many wildlife species can be infected with the virus and transmit it to biting mosquitoes, which makes identifying WNV's high risk areas or time periods complex. The US equine industry, domestic pets, and livestock are all at risk from harm from WNV. Many equine WNV epizootics have occurred since 1999, with more than 30,000 equine cases reported in the United States. Since WNV's introduction to Florida in 2001, infections have been reported in a total of 460 people and 757 equines. This publication provides information about WNV to the general public, researchers and stakeholders in mosquito control, and public health professionals.

One Health Defined: A New Way to Think about Wellbeing

Amely Bauer andLindsay Campbell

“One Health” is a way of conceptualizing wellbeing that recognizes the interconnection and co-dependence of human, animal, plant, and environmental health and focuses on collaborating across scientific fields to improve health across all components of the ecosystem. One Health was formalized in the early 2000s after the first cases of severe acute respiratory disease (SARS) and the rapid spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N1) drew international attention and concern about how pathogens can move and spread across the human, animal, and environmental interface. SARS and H5N1 highlighted the need for collaborative efforts to address diseases in an increasingly connected world. One Health is now used broadly to address health challenges across human, animal, and plant systems. This publication provides information about One Health to the public and to researchers and stakeholders in mosquito control and public health professions.

Creating Digital Terrain Models from 3D Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) Data

Yesenia Sánchez, Amely Bauer, andLindsay Campbell

Light Detection And Ranging, or LiDAR, is a technology that uses laser pulses to create detailed 3D maps of the Earth’s surface. The technology has been around since the 1960s, but recent advances have made it more common for mapping both natural and human-made environments. LiDAR data is useful in many fields. It can be used to improve car safety and self-driving technology and to map areas to identify archaeological sites. It is useful for precision agriculture applications, land management decisions, and even mosquito control. This fact sheet provides practical instructions on how to create a DTM and a hillshade visualization from LiDAR data using ArcGIS Pro software. The guide is intended for anyone interested in processing publicly accessible LiDAR data or their own LiDAR data for further use, including community partners in industry and governmental agencies, scientists, and the public.
