The Department of Medical Entomology (Sydney West Area Health Service) can provide a range services to assist the assessment of mosquito risk and/or the development of site-specific mosquito management strategies. Prof. Richard Russell and Dr. Cameron Webb have had extensive experience with mosquito risk assessment and mosquito management plan development in coastal and inland NSW as well as elsewhere in Australia and overseas. Their research has been published in peer reviewed scientific journals and results presentated at local and international scientific meetings. Prof Russell and Dr Webb are regularly engaged to make presentations to working groups, training courses and university programs to inform professional wetland managers and public health officials, as well as students and the general public, on current mosquito risk and management issues.
