Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: I’ve been at CDC for 14 years. I work for the Division of Vector-Borne Diseases in Fort Collins, Colorado. I’m a Research Entomologist. I study mosquitoes and the best way to control them, including the impact of insecticide resistance. My path to public health arose because I love insects, I love helping people, and becoming a Medical Entomologist was a way that I could put the two together to do something I love. If I didn’t work for CDC, I have two dream jobs. The first would be to work in a local mosquito control program and the other would be to be a librarian. So, I remember a situation where I went to Miami to work on a Zika virus outbreak and I had to attend a city council meeting to discuss mosquito control. That’s a topic that can be very controversial and so there was a lot of shouting, there was a lot of anger, the media was there so people were on edge, and it really made me feel intimidated. But the next day, when I was working in the community, there were a lot of people who came up to me and thanked me for the work that I was there doing and so it really made me feel much better, like I was having a positive impact on the community. I get to help communities control mosquitoes, which protects everyone from mosquito-borne diseases, and that’s one of CDC’s goals. I’m Janet McAllister and I am CDC!
