Semana de Concientización sobre el Control de Mosquitos

WHEREAS, mosquito-borne diseases, including malaria, yellow fever, West Nile virus, Zika virus, and other forms of arboviral encephalitis, have historically been a source of human and animal suffering, illness, and death in the United States and worldwide; and

CONSIDERANDO QUE, un número excesivo de mosquitos disminuye nuestro disfrute del aire libre, dificulta el trabajo al aire libre, disminuye la productividad del ganado y reduce el valor de las propiedades; y

CONSIDERANDO QUE, la Asociación de Control de Mosquitos de Virginia sirve para facilitar la comunicación y la educación entre los profesionales de control de mosquitos de Virginia para mejorar la eficiencia y eficacia de las operaciones de control de mosquitos en Virginia; y

WHEREAS, the Virginia Department of Health partners with multiple state agencies and government organizations in a public awareness campaign to prevent the spread of the West Nile virus, Zika virus, and other mosquito-borne viruses and encourage the elimination of mosquito breeding habitats in residential areas; and

WHEREAS, it is important for individuals and organizations to work with the Virginia Department of Health and local mosquito control organizations to help decrease the effects of mosquito-borne illnesses; and

WHEREAS, it is important to encourage effective and environmentally safe mosquito control activities, and it is fitting to facilitate communication and education among Virginia’s mosquito control professionals to improve the effectiveness of mosquito control operations in Virginia;
