REQUEST:
The Public Works Department providing the City Commission information about the Zika
virus and related, ongoing Mosquito Control activities in Seminole County.
SYNOPSIS:
This agenda item provides information about the Zika Virus and the related, ongoing
Mosquito Control activities in Seminole County. Additional detailed information is
available from Seminole County (www.seminolecount�fl.gov ), the Florida Department of
Health (www.floridahealth.gov), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(,Aww.cdc.gov/zika/)
CONSIDERATIONS:
General Zika Virus Information (from the Florida Department of Health
. Zika fever is a mild illness caused by a mosquito -borne virus similar to those that
cause dengue and chikungunya virus infection. It has been identified in several
countries in Central and South America, Mexico, and the Caribbean since 2015.
Outbreaks have previously been reported in Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific
Islands. Local transmission has been reported in Puerto Rico and in a small area in
Miami -Dade County.
. Zika virus is primarily transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito, including
the same mosquitoes that can transmit dengue and chikungunya. It can also be
transmitted from a pregnant mother to her baby during pregnancy or around the time
Informational 203 PAGE 1 OF 5 - September 12, 2016
of birth. It is unknown how often this occurs or what stage of pregnancy is most at
risk. There are no reports of infants getting Zika virus through breastfeeding. Zika
virus can also be transmitted through sexual activity.
. Only about 1 in 5 people infected with Zika virus are symptomatic. Zika fever is a
mild illness. Severe disease requiring hospitalization is uncommon. Signs and
symptoms of Zika virus may include: acute onset of low -grade fever, rash, joint pain,
conjunctivitis (reddening of eye), body aches, headache, eye pain and vomiting.
People typically develop symptoms between 2 and 14 days after they are bitten by the
infected mosquito.
. The Florida Department of Health encourages Florida residents and visitors to protect
themselves from all mosquito -borne illnesses by draining standing water; covering
their skin with repellent and clothing; covering windows with screens; and other basic
precautions.
Zika Virus in Florida:
. As of August 31, 2016, the Florida Department of Health reported a total of 616 Zika
cases in Florida. Of the 616, 569 are considered "travel related," meaning the virus
was transmitted to a person while traveling outside of the country. 47 of the 616
cases are considered "non- travel related."
. As of August 26, a total of 19 Zika virus cases were confirmed in Seminole County,
including one in Winter Springs, with all cases being travel- related.
. The Florida Department of Health has confirmed that local transmissions of Zika
virus are occurring in two small areas in Miami -Dade County. One is a small area just
north of downtown Miami in the Wynwood area. The second small area is in Miami
Beach. Florida's small case cluster is not considered by the DOH to be a "widespread
transmission."
Seminole County Mosquito Control Program:
. The Seminole County Mosquito Control District ( SCMCD) was established in 2006
by the County and the seven (7) incorporated cities, including the City of Winter
Springs, for the prevention and control of arboviral diseases such as Dengue, Malaria,
West Nile, Eastern Equine, Highlands J St. Louis, and then Chikunganya and Zika
(newer diseases).
. The mission of the SCMCD is to provide an environmentally safe, effective and
economically responsible mosquito control for the residents of Seminole County (and
all its incorporated cities). A copy of the Memorandum of Agreement between the
cities and Seminole County for the establishment of the SCMCD is attached as
Exhibit A.
. The SCMCD provides effective prevention and control through a comprehensive,
integrated mosquito management program using sound Integrated Pest Management
(IPM) principles. The program includes the adulticiding or mosquito spraying,
larviciding or larval control, source reduction activities and public outreach and
education.
Informational 203 PAGE 2 OF 5 - September 12, 2016
Seminole County Response to Zika Cases:
. The standard protocol for servicing suspect Zika related cases in Seminole County is
labor intensive, requiring staff to conduct door -to -door source reduction for each
suspect case, in addition to the ongoing mosquito trap collection /analysis and
adulticide work (fogging). Source reduction eliminates larval habitats by dumping
water - holding containers (such as bird baths, flowerpots, cans, and tires), treating
areas with stagnant water containing larva (larviciding), and providing house -to-
house education (door hangers). Please refer to Exhibit B for the Seminole County
Mosquito Control Disease Response Plan.
. City Public Works Staff has assisted Seminole County staff with conducting source
reduction activities when suspect cases in the City of Winter Springs have been
identified.
. In response to the Zika virus, the Seminole County Mosquito Control Program has
expanded their surveillance program to collect and identify specific mosquitoes
(Aedes sp.) known to carry Zika and other arboviruses. These specimens are
submitted weekly to the State laboratory to test for the presence of Zika, Dengue, and
Chikungunya. Since May 16, when the testing became available, over 1,900 Aedes
specimens from Seminole County have been collected and tested, with all specimens
confirmed negative.
. Please refer to Exhibit C attached for a Seminole County flyer, "Protect Yourself
From Mosquito Bites and Disease" for more information. This flyer has been posted
on the City website, Facebook page, eAlerts, and in other digital and paper
publications.
City of Winter Springs Mosquito Control and Coordination Activities:
. The City provides mosquito spraying services that are supplemental to the Seminole
County Mosquito Program. The City's services include periodic citywide spraying
(from a truck mounted assembly), site specific spraying, such as at Central Winds
Park just before the 4thof July event, and larvaciding. The Public Works Department
has two Licensed Pest Control Applicators on staff to perform mosquito spraying.
. The City's Mosquito Control capabilities are summarized below:
• Three mosquito foggers /sprayers (15 gallon capacity). The foggers are
checked and calibrated annually for effective performance.
• Two backpack sprayers (3.4 gallon capacity)
• One hand sprayer (1 gallon capacity)
• Three Mosquito Traps for surveillance
• On annual stock, a minimum 55 gallons each of three (3) types of mosquito
control pesticides: Duet, Mosquito Mist and Anvil 2 +2
• Minimum two -year plus supply of Larval control pesticide for larviciding
• Capability to dispatch three truck- mounted mosquito foggers at any given night
if needed to provide spraying (weather permitting)
• The city is divided in six (6) spraying zone areas and citywide spraying can be
completed in an average of three (3) days (weather permitting)
Informational 203 PAGE 3 OF 5 - September 12, 2016
. City Stormwater Department Staff is a member of the Seminole County Control
Advisory Committee ( SCMCAC). The committee meets regularly to review
countywide mosquito data and to coordinate mosquito prevention activities.
The SCMCAC has met regularly over the past several months to specifically address
the Zika virus. The recent meetings are summarized below:
• August 23, 2016 — Zika Strategic Plan Local Transmission set -up by Seminole
County Emergency Management and Seminole County Mosquito Control

Seminole County Mosquito Control
Disease Response Plan
,�o Contro�p
PQ`
Prevention and control of arboviral diseases is accomplished most effectively through a comprehensive, integrated mosquito
management program using sound Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles. When the Seminole County Mosquito Control
Program receives notification from the Seminole County branch of the Florida Department of Health (CDH) regarding a suspected
arbovirus case (such as Dengue, Malaria, Chikungunya, Zika, West Nile, Eastern Equine, Highlands J, and St. Louis), the Seminole
County Mosquito Control Program will provide the appropriate level of response listed below in accordance with provisions of Chapter
388, Florida Statutes:
Response Level 1: No significant mosquito or disease activity:
• Review and maintain basic surveillance activities as appropriate for season
• Review and update response plans
• Review and update community outreach and public education programs as necessary
• Perform surveillance and avian data analysis reviewing locations and trends
• Maintain source reduction projects
• Conduct insecticide resistance management in target vector populations
Response Level 2: Biting adult mosquitoes (vector species) active and epizootic activity expected based on onset of transmission
in prior years or limited or sporadic epizootic activity detected in sentinel flocks:
Response as above plus:
• Communication with respective agency listed in Standard Operating Procedure
• Conduct standard IPM activities to reduce vector mosquito abundance
• Direct sporadic adult mosquito control to areas at risk
• Conduct enhanced surveillance
Response Level 3: Sustained transmission activity in sentinel flocks or suspect /confirmed human cases reported:
Response as above plus:
Increase in targeted surveillance activities
• Intensify and expand adult mosquito control, including repetitive treatments in risk area/cases
• Provide public information focused on personal protection and source reduction (CDH)
Response Level 4: Human cases acquired locally:
Response as above plus:
• Increase public alerts specific to the current situation (CDH)
• Emphasize urgency of personal protection, including use of repellents, through community leaders and media
• Increase surveillance activities
• Increase adult mosquito control and include, but not limited to, individual parcel barrier treatments
• Advise CDH on justification for elevated disease - prevention efforts i.e. cancelling outdoor events, closing campgrounds, etc.
• Request State and Federal support for mosquito control operations as needed
Response Level 5: Outbreak in progress - Conditions favor continued transmission to humans or multiple confirmed human
cases:
Response as above plus:
Intensify and expand aggressive adult mosquito control, including nightly treatments in risk area
Coordination of response efforts between participating agencies such as Counties, Cities, CDH, FDACS, and FDOH

FLORIDA'S NATURAL CHOICE
• Approximate one mile radius surrounding the street of resident is determined and a map is created for the team. Pesticide use,
surveillance, and field logistics is discussed with Mosquito Control Program Director.
o Field Supervisor assigns Mosquito Control Technicians to the one mile radius for intensive door -to -door inspections, treatment
with larvicides for breeding sites, source reduction (which involves the emptying of any containers and other items holding
water), and disbursement of Mosquito Control flyer /door hangers (English and Spanish versions are both available).
o Field Supervisor directs Mosquito Control Technician II on implementing ground surveillance including collection of mosquito
trap data within the one mile radius. Historical surveillance data and work orders are evaluated within the radius.
o Field Supervisor determines fogging zone and creates fogging map for adulticide spray missions within one -half mile radius,
highlighting all streets to be included, weather permitting, for up to 2 weeks including weekends and holidays. Adulticide
missions are unable to be conducted in weather conditions such as winds over lOmph, rain, fog, or climate that is 50 degrees
or less. Mosquito Control Technician II sends out Reverse 911 notification to all residents registered within the fogging zone.
This notification includes the `Do Not Spray' residents who will be fogged because the mission is disease related.
o Random address (for HIPAA) is entered into Mosquito Control's asset management system by Mosquito Control Program
Coordinator with the information provided by the CDH such as if suspected case is thought to be IMPORTED or LOCALLY
acquired. If IMPORTED, the country where resident traveled, date for onset of symptoms, date of travel, etc. are noted.
• Mosquito Control Program Director coordinates with CDH, or other State Agencies depending on response level, on field operations
and discusses potential events or establishments that may be affected (outdoor events, schools, etc.). CDH contacts schools within
radius if applicable. If patient has been outdoors during infection period, Mosquito Control Program will treat areas visited by the
patient (i.e. Malaria case where patient played soccer at several parks). This level of information is only obtained through patient
interview process conducted by CDH and relayed to Mosquito Control Program.
Mosquito Control Program Director coordinates with CDH and County Office of Emergency Management. If suspect case falls
within city limits, the city's Mosquito Technical Committee member would be contacted (list of city technical members is below
and available on our website). Email is also distributed to county Public Works Director and Watershed Management Division
Manager.

• Mosquito Control personnel meets daily with Field Supervisor for discussion on field observations and mosquito trap data. Field
Supervisor relays findings /information to Mosquito Control Program Director for sharing with Watershed Management Division
Manager and Public Works Director and involved agencies depending on response level.
• CDH notifies Mosquito Control Program once they have either confirmed or ruled out the disease case (this can take several weeks).
• Mosquito Disease spreadsheet is updated by Mosquito Control Program Coordinator. Disease activity is separated by year /disease
for both human cases and sentinel chicken locations. Spreadsheet (MC DISEASES.xlsx) is kept at U:AMosquitoControlProgram\MC
Diseases. Disease totals are checked against the FL Arbovirus Surveillance Report released weekly by the Department of Health
for accuracy (link available on our website).
• Mosquito Control Program Director discusses field operations related to cases with other Mosquito Control Programs, agencies,
and with the Mosquito Control Technical Committee at next meeting.

Eliminate Mosquito Breeding Area
Around Your Home
The Seminole County Mosquito Control Program is asking for your help to prevent
the following diseases transmitted by mosquitoes:
Zika Virus (2016) * Chikungunya (2013) * Dengue Fever
* West Nile Virus * Eastern Equine Encephalitis
You can help by eliminating standing water from any containers, and by protecting
yourself and your family from mosquito bites. See below for more information.
Help Prevent Mosquito Diseases
Drain and Cover
DRAIN standing water from any container where
sprinkler or rainwater has collected. See the picture below
to find places where water may collect around the outside
of your home.
COVER your bare skin and clothing with repellent
if you must be outside when mosquitoes are most
active during the hours of dusk and dawn. Several
disease - carrying mosquitoes are daytime biters and
usually do not fly far from the containers where they spend
their immature life stages. Wear shoes, socks, long pants,
and long sleeves.
Always use repellents according to the label. Repellents with DEET,
Picaridin, (ail of T.emon Eucalyptus, and TR3535 are effective. Use
mosquito netting to protect children younger than 2 months. Using
repellents that are combined with sunscreen is not recommended. Apply
sunscreen first, then apply repellent to make sure that each product
works as intended.
