ECU Environmental Health students were featured in a video entry for the Entomological Society of America (ESA) 2016 YouTube Your Entomology Contest.  The 3-minute video, produced by Drs. Stephanie Richards (ESA member) and Jo Anne Balanay, shows how our EH students set CDC mosquito light traps and ovitraps in the field, count mosquito eggs from ovitrap paper strips, and count and identify collected mosquitoes to species in the lab for the mosquito barrier spray study led by Dr. Stephanie Richards as the principal investigator. This is the first year the EHS program participated in the ESA video contest.
