Fight the Bite! Join the SWAT Team
Welcome to the SWAT Team! One of UTEP's Mosquito Ecology and Surveillance Lab's goals is to disseminate information about mosquitoes and related public health topics to the community. We do this by campaigning the popular "Fight the Bite" message at community events sponsored by city or state parks, or going to community health fairs. We also visit schools to give presentations, whether it be to big groups (several grades at a time) or small classroom groups. Working with our collaborating partners has given us the opportunity to share what we know about mosquitoes in the El Paso area. We have also hosted training sessions or workshops for professionals, like working with several vector control agencies on both sides of the border and working with promotoras (community health workers).
If you would like to schedule a presentation or training workshop please provide us with the following information:
- type of visit (eg. classroom, training, informational booth)
- intended audience (eg. elementary students, professionals, families)
- number of people attending
- point of contact
