3. To develop a database on the bionomics of rice pests, riceland mosquitoes and beneficial aquatic fauna coming to associate with harvested rice fields flooded during the winter.
   
4. To update and refine existing databases on the local distribution, genetic relationships and disease vector potential of mosquito species occurring in rice-producing areas of the U.S.
