Continuing Coverage: National mosquito experts are gathering today at The University of Texas at El Paso to discuss and strengthen U.S. border plans related to the surveillance and control of mosquito-borne viruses. The meeting was created to prepare for the likely onslaught of Chikungunya, an emerging infectious disease from the Eastern Hemisphere that first appeared in the Caribbean last year; it is expected to spread north to the southern United States. UTMB’s Scott Weaver, an expert in human infections and immunity, will speak at this event. The news also appeared in Fox 44 – Central Texas and Fox 33 – Shreveport, LA.
