Annually, MVCAC members participate in “Legislative Day” at the California State Capitol. Representatives from member districts meet with their legislators to educate policymakers about Best Management Practices for mosquito and vector-borne disease prevention and secure support for advancements in surveillance, laboratory techniques, and vector control methods.
In 2025, MVCAC members met with legislators to discuss key issues including:
- Local transmission of dengue is now a reality that mosquito districts have to contend with.
- Climate change is creating weather whiplash that intensifies the spread of invasive mosquitoes.
- Public health pesticides are an important part of Integrated Vector Management.
- CalSurv, the statewide surveillance database housed at UC Davis, continues to be an essential tool in fighting vector-borne diseases.
