Abstract: Wing Beats is an international publication for mosquito and vector control produced by the Florida Mosquito Control Association (FMCA) and is an official publication of the American Mosquito Control Association (AMCA). The publication is supported by advertisers and is mailed to nearly 4,000 individuals. Wing Beats is also available online on the AMCA and FMCA websites for members to view.
Wing Beats is published quarterly and is written and produced by those in various professions associated with mosquito control, research, and administration. Our goals are to keep interested parties informed on matters related to mosquito and vector control and disseminate information to educate and raise the level of the mosquito control profession.
Wing Beats seeks interesting technical and field-related articles about mosquitoes, mosquito control and other vector related topics. The articles need not be “scientific” in nature and vary in size from just a page or two, to multiple pages. Longer articles tend to be the most interesting and are encouraged if the additional space is warranted. We encourage the submission of manuscripts and provide guidance for authors. Author guidelines are available to help both authors and our editorial teams.
There are several significant changes to Wing Beats to report to our readers which will be outlined in the presentation.
