National mosquito experts will gather 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.
