ABSTRACT
In central New York, aerial application of mosquito adulticides have been used in response to isolations of eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) virus and occurrence of EEE. Treatment areas have included the swamp habitats of the primary mosquito vector of EEE virus, Culiseta melanura. The organophosphate insecticide Dibrom 14 (naled) mixed with HAN has been the insecticide of choice in this region. Analyses of 11 years (1984-1994) of mosquito collection data from two swamp foci of EEE virus determined that aerial applications of naled had only short term impacts on mosquito populations and did not affect EEE virus activity within these swamp areas.
