It only takes one bite from an infected mosquito to infect a child with La Crosse virus.
This USDA-funded project is currently supported for three years (2019-2022) with stipends for only 15 educators annually. We need your help to reach our goals of expanding the academy to more schools in East Tennessee and increasing awareness of the leading pediatric mosquito-borne virus ⏤ La Crosse Encephalitis.
