Management of mosquito populations is a high public health priority because these insects can spread diseases such as malaria, dengue, Ross River virus, Barmah Forest virus, Murray Valley encephalitis, Japanese encephalitis and Kunjin/West Nile virus. Our research into the effectiveness of mosquito control programs in Darwin is of immediate national relevance and priority given the need to Safeguard Australia from invasive diseases. There is an urgency to undertake our research because global environmental change and increasing movements of people (particularly military personnel) from overseas regions where these diseases are endemic is increasing the vulnerability of northern Australia to the (re)establishment of mosquito borne diseases.

蚊子种群的管理是高度公共卫生优先事项，因为这些昆虫可以传播疟疾、登革热、罗斯河病毒、Barmah森林病毒、墨累谷脑炎、日本脑炎和昆津/西尼罗河病毒等疾病。考虑到保护澳大利亚免受侵袭性疾病侵袭的需要，我们对达尔文蚊子控制计划有效性的研究具有直接的国家相关性和优先事项。迫切需要进行我们的研究，因为全球环境变化和来自这些疾病流行的海外地区的越来越多的人(特别是军事人员)的流动正在增加澳大利亚北部对(重新)建立蚊媒疾病的脆弱性。
