Vector Borne Diseases Webinar

Please enjoy this discussion on Vector Borne Diseases with Maine Health’s Vector Ecologist Chuck Lubelczyk (BS, MPH). Lubelczyk has worked on research in the spread of vector-borne diseases since the late-1990’s, while working worth with the MaineHealth Institute for Research in Scarborough, Maine. A native of New Hampshire, Chuck’s work has focused on interactions between ticks and mosquitoes and their host and habitat requirements, as well as integrated pest management (IPM) approaches to reducing exposure to vector-borne diseases. He is currently working on projects relating to the surveillance of mosquito-borne viruses, like eastern equine encephalitis and Jamestown Canyon virus, in Maine and New Hampshire, the use of community-based strategies to control deer ticks on Maine’s island communities, the role of migratory birds in the ecology of Lyme disease, and development of pesticide resistance in mosquito vectors. He currently resides on a farm with his wife Laura and three ungrateful cats in Maine’s midcoast.
