Climate change is inviting the range expansion of mosquitoes and our first line of defence against a changing mosquito-borne disease landscape in Canada is early detection of invasive species. Thus, to help us predict the future of mosquito-borne diseases in Canada, we must implement regular monitoring programs. We are using traditional monitoring strategies to update our decades-old surveillance data in Nova Scotia, combined with eDNA analysis to create an efficient, cost- and labour-effective surveillance tool to track mosquito populations as climate change progresses. This talk will focus on our key findings as we enter into our second surveillance season and the future for monitoring mosquito populations in the maritime provinces.
