The current project is designed to provide information for CULEX Environmental Ltd. about which mosquito species in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, are potential vectors of disease viruses. At Brock University, we have the expertise necessary to do this type of research and we will (1) determine the molecular barcodes for Costa Rican mosquitoes, (2) establish which species are positive for arboviral infections, and (3) develop a molecular toolkit that the company can use in the field for determining species and infection status.

目前的项目旨在为CULEX环境有限公司提供信息，了解哥斯达黎加瓜纳卡斯特哪些蚊子是疾病病毒的潜在媒介。在Brock大学，我们拥有进行这类研究所需的专业知识，我们将(1)确定哥斯达黎加蚊子的分子条形码，(2)确定哪些物种对虫病病毒感染呈阳性，(3)开发一个分子工具包，该公司可以在现场使用该工具包来确定物种和感染状态。
