The Pasco County Mosquito Control District is preparing to launch a proof-of-concept trial using sterilized male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes as part of our integrated mosquito management program. This trial will evaluate whether this innovative, environmentally friendly technique can help reduce populations of Aedes aegypti in our local area. Aedes aegypti is the primary mosquito species responsible for spreading dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever.
