Lyric Bartholomay to present Division of Biology Seminar Lyric Bartholomay, professor in the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and director of the Midwest Center of Excellence for Vector-Borne Disease, will present "Controlling Mosquito Borne-Diseases at the Source: Critically Evaluating the Old, and Innovating New, Mosquito Control Interventions" as part of the Division of Biology Seminar Series at 3:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 15, via Zoom. In the upper Midwest, mosquito-borne viruses including West Nile, LaCrosse , Jamestown Canyon and Eastern equine encephalitis continue to cause devastating disease in people and livestock. Adding to that threat, there is a precariously limited toolkit for controlling the associated vector species.
