Mosquitoes are capable of transmitting a wide range of debilitating diseases such as Ross River and Barmah Forest viruses, Murray Valley Encephalitis, Japanese Encephalitis, Dengue fever and Malaria. To prevent the transmission of these diseases local authorities expend considerable resources on the control of mosquitoes. This project will increase the understanding of chemical control measures on adult mosquitoes and this will lead to more effective mosquito control treatments and reduce the incidence of mosquito transmitted diseases. The project will also result in a reduction in the risk from the application of pesticide to public health and the environment.

蚊子能够传播多种使人衰弱的疾病，例如罗斯河病毒和巴尔马森林病毒、墨累谷脑炎、日本脑炎、登革热和疟疾。 为了防止这些疾病的传播，地方当局花费了大量资源来控制蚊子。 该项目将增加对成年蚊子化学控制措施的了解，这将导致更有效的蚊子控制治疗并减少蚊子传播疾病的发生率。 该项目还将减少农药的使用对公众健康和环境造成的风险。
