    Abstract:
    During the summer of 1993, mosquitoes were collected by dry ice-baited CDC light traps from July through September in 12 different cities in Iowa. In all, 169,907 mosquitoes belonging to 17 different species were collected. A total of 2,013 pools were processed for arbovirus isolation, from which 59 arbovirus isolates were obtained: 41 Flanders (FLA), 16 trivittatus (TVT), one Cache Valley (CV), and one Turlock (TUR). Supplementary sentinel chicken and human data are also included. In spite of the increase in larval habitats and elevated mosquito populations, there was not an increase in virus transmission.
