| VECTOR MANAGEMENT PROGRAM This program consists of three
units: Vector-Borne Disease Surveillance, Entomology and Vector Control. The Entomology Unit performs the taxonomic duties which identify those arthropods responsible for transmission of the etiologic agents of disease and defines the biology, life history, and the complex transmission cycles which permit the transference of these diseases to the human population. Vector Control is responsible for rodent abatement
activities and licensed animal keeper premises inspection and enforcement
throughout Los Angeles County (except for the Mountain & Rural Program
and District Environmental Services-Antelope Valley Districts). The unit
continues to survey and manage the rodent populations within the Los
Angeles metropolitan area as part of it’s response to the historic
Downtown Project. |
