Mosquito Surveillance Software That Connects Data to Decisions — VectoStar
VectoStar's mosquito surveillance software tracks adult trap networks, larval inspections, species identification, disease pool submissions, and population thresholds for mosquito abatement districts and vector control agencies.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What surveillance data can VectoStar track?
- VectoStar tracks adult mosquito surveillance (light traps, CO2 traps, BG-Sentinel traps), larval surveillance (dipping results, source identification), trap collections, species identification, egg counts, and weather correlation data. All data is geo-tagged and time-stamped for trend analysis.
- How does VectoStar help identify mosquito population trends?
- VectoStar aggregates surveillance data across all trap sites and time periods, visualizing population trends on dashboards and maps. Managers can set threshold alerts that trigger notifications when trap counts exceed defined action levels.
- Does VectoStar support vector disease surveillance (WNV, EEE, Zika)?
- VectoStar can track pools submitted for disease testing, link pool results to specific trap sites and collection dates, and alert managers when positive pools are detected. This enables rapid response coordination when vector-borne disease is detected.
- How does VectoStar handle larval surveillance data?
- VectoStar's larval surveillance module captures dipping location, water source type, larval density, species identification, larval stage, and treatment applied. GPS-tagged photos and notes can be attached to each inspection record.
- Can surveillance data be exported for state or federal reporting?
- Yes. VectoStar exports surveillance data in formats required for ArboNET, state mosquito surveillance programs, and CDC reporting systems. Custom export templates can be configured for district-specific reporting requirements.
