Abstract
Ana Ramírez evaluated the use of mosquito excreta as a sample type for enhancing mosquito-borne disease surveillance. She found that mosquito excreta can be used to detect pathogens and other microorganisms present in the mosquito, including viruses and parasites. Mosquito excreta can be used for field and laboratory based studies.
