Abstract
Tom Swan studied ways to improve surveillance and control of the tiger mosquito in the Torres Strait. He found that tiger mosquitoes disperse frequently between islands, optimised a trap to capture tiger mosquitoes and investigated tiger mosquito sugar-feeding behaviour. Queensland Health may utilise these findings to improve current surveillance and control for tiger mosquitoes.
