2019 Pesticide Use and Resistance Monitoring in the Northeastern United States
In February 2019, the Northeast Regional Center of Excellence in Vector Borne Diseases (NEVBD) distributed a pesticide use and resistance Qualtrics™ survey to vector control organizations and public health departments operating within the region. The goals of the survey were to: (1) determine the current extent of pesticide use and resistance monitoring within the region; (2)determine roadblocks preventing the expansion of regional pesticide resistance monitoring programs; and (3) assess how NEVBD can assist the public health community and expand pesticide resistance monitoring activities. This report summarizes the results of the survey and NEVBD pesticide resistance monitoring programming.
