New technologies for management of biting and nuisance flies in organic and conventional systems <br /> a. Novel push-pull strategies (NE, NC, USDA-NE, USDA-FL) <br /> b. Evaluation of improved monitoring systems (USDA-NE, CA, TN, NM) <br /> c. Novel toxicants, biopesticides, & delivery systems (FL, PA, NE, NM, TX, USDA-FL, USDA-NE) <br /> d. Non-pesticide management options (mechanical) (AU, FL, NC, NE, PA, TN, USDA-NE, USDA-FL, USDA-TX) <br /> <br /> 2. Insecticide resistance detection and management <br /> a. Assessment of insecticide resistance (TX, NY, USDA)<br /> b. Leveraging the Stomoxys and Musca genomes for novel control measures (NY, USDA)<br /> <br /> 3. Investigation of the microbial ecology, epithelial immunity, and vector competence of biting and nuisance flies <br /> a. Identification of the key bacterial strains and their metabolites playing a major role in oviposition and larval development of stable flies (TX, KS, USDA) <br /> b. Investigation of the innate immune response of filth flies (KS, USDA) <br /> c. Consequences of fly-bacteria interactions: selection effects and evolutionary outcomes (USDA, TX)<br /> d. Animal and human pathogen acquisition, dispersal, and deposition by muscid flies (AU, NC, MA, KS)<br /> <br /> 4. Characterize population biology of biting and nuisance flies <br /> a. Characterize effects of climate and landscape features on dispersal (KS, TX, USDA-NE)<br /> b. Phenology of biting and nuisance flies (AU, FL, KS, TN, USDA-NE) <br /> c. Genetic structure of biting and nuisance fly populations (TN, TX, USDA-NE)<br /> <br /> 5. Extension and community engagement <br /> a. Improve project website to maximize extension and community engagement<br /> b. Demonstrate research value to stakeholders and funding decision-makers<br /> c. Seek funding to support these extension/outreach efforts by developing proposals that will be submitted to various granting agencies including our Regional IPM Centers.<br /> <br /> Wednesday Morning Session (0800-1300)<br /> <br /> <br /> 0830 - Welcome and plan for the day - <br /> <br /> 0845 - Local Arrangements <br /> <br /> <br /> 0900 - Business Meeting:<br /> • Selection of 2020 meeting location.<br /> • New Business<br /> o Email list-serv<br /> <br /> 1000am - Project Coordination <br /> As a group, identify and develop collaborative efforts related to objective goals.<br /> • Determine objective priorities for 2023-2028<br /> • Identify collaborative projects that will advance sub-objectives<br /> • Brainstorm ways to broaden membership<br /> • Develop collaborative framework<br /> • Discuss multistate award<br /> • Assess funding opportunities<br /> <br /> 1300- Closing: Brandon Smythe (Local Arrangements Chairs) Becky Trout Fryxell (Chair)<br /> <br /> <br />
