"Student researchers at the University of Notre Dame forged a partnership with the local county health department to tackle the tracking of certain mosquitoes that are capable of causing severe illness and death in the state. The article describes the initiative in engaging prose, sharing the viewpoint of a variety of people involved in the process. It also describes the science of vector disease tracking, the types of diseases caused in Indiana by mosquitoes, and the future plans for the research.
The impact of this article is a planned broader reach of the program and potentially more involvement by high school students in South Bend schools."
