4. Mosquito and Fly Research Unit DWFP Major Research Areas Novel insecticide chemistries or formulations Personal protection Application technology

5. OBJECTIVE Develop Novel Control Methods to Protect Deployed Military Personnel from Vectors Discover, evaluate and develop new candidate adulticides effective against mosquitoes and flies. Discover, evaluate and develop new candidate chemicals effective in preventing mosquitoes and flies from biting deployed personnel. Optimize use of candidate chemicals for mosquito/fly control and personal protection to serve military needs. Devise and develop "attract and kill" management systems for mosquitoes and flies. Discover, evaluate and develop new personal protection strategies.
