197th AFPMB Board Meeting:
Interactive Program for Teaching Larval Mosquito Morphology
The Information Services Division announces the availability of a new product entitled Interactive Program for Teaching Larval Mosquito Morphology. This educational teaching tool, distributed on DVD, is designed to provide a self-paced course of instruction that will enable medical personnel to confidently identify mosquito larvae in the absence of a professional mosquito taxonomist. The program comprises four parts: a tutorial in larval mosquito morphology, student identification practice using 24 specimens, a glossary of larval mosquito morphology, and a collection of over 800 chaetotaxy diagrams to assist the user in learning and identification. The program was developed by CDR George W. Schultz, with assistance from Dr. Richard G. Robbins and Mr. David W. Hill.
