Surveillance Reports: New Jersey Vector Surveillance and Statewide Adult Mosquito Surveillance

Graduate Courses taught:

Statistics in an Entomological World

Bugs in Space: Spatial Analysis of Agricultural and Epidemiological Data

Bugs in the System: Interpretation and Application of Multivariate Statistics for Entomologists

Debugging: Refining Data Analysis

My jobs as a technician/field researcher in the Department of Entomology are varied: surveillance, birds, computers, and stats. Primarily, I write weekly reports on the status of vector-borne arboviruses in New Jersey as well as the statewide surveillance of adult mosquitoes done in conjunction with the county mosquito control agencies. I also maintain the Entomology and CVB websites along with the New Jersey Mosquito website (NJMCA). I provide help with statistical/design questions that people in the department may have. As an ornithologist, I enjoy my research with birds. I worked on several projects, including the use of sparrows as a sentinel species for West Nile virus as well as the role of certain thrushes and mosquitoes in the epidemiology of the same. I collaborated with Don Caccamise at New Mexico State University and Paul Castelli at NJDEP Dept of Fishery and Wildlife, now US Fish and Game on a study looking at the effectiveness of using stable isotope analysis to identify migrant verses resident Canada Geese (Branta canadensis).
