“The University of Florida is committed to the ethical use of animals in its pursuit of medical advances that benefit both humans and animals. Almost every drug, treatment, medical device, diagnostic tool or cure we have today was developed with the help of lab animals. Animal research at UF is governed by a federally mandated Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee that reviews all requests for approval to use vertebrate animals and inspects all areas where animals are housed and used.

A team of lab technicians and biologists subsequently works to count, sort and identify (ID) the species retrieved. Recently, this dedication to data and science paid off in a very important way: the Aedes scapularis species was confirmed to have established a presence in Miami-Dade. “This also highlights the importance of South Florida as the point of entry of invasive species that might eventually lead to outbreaks of mosquito-transmitted diseases in our population.”The finding of new species in South Florida means that the mosquito population is dynamic. Female Aedes scapularis feed from humans and a range of other animals, readily enter buildings and feed from human hosts indoors, and relatively few mosquito species do this.
