DPMIAC announces the
availability of a new product entitled Interactive Program for Teaching
Larval Mosquito Morphology. This educational teaching tool, distributed on
DVD, is designed to provide a self-paced course of instruction that will
enable medical personnel to confidently identify mosquito larvae in the
absence of a professional mosquito taxonomist. The program comprises four
parts: a tutorial in larval mosquito morphology, student identification
practice using 24 specimens, a glossary of larval mosquito morphology, and a
collection of over 800 chaetotaxy diagrams to assist the user in learning
and identification. The program was developed by CDR George W. Schultz, with
assistance from Dr. Richard G. Robbins and Mr. David W. Hill. To request
copies of this free DVD,
