West Nile Virus
In response to the alarming increase of West Nile virus in some communities, researchers at Auburn University have been studying factors that influence outbreaks of the disease. One factor they studied was the effect of urbanization on mosquito populations. To help educate others about West Nile virus, Project Learning Tree has teamed up with Auburn University to develop an activity for middle and high school students. The activity can be used in general science, biology, ecology, environmental science, and health classes. Download the activity "West Nile Virus: Forests Help Reduce the Risk".
