Fighting Zika: USDA Wants Volunteers to Help Collect Mosquito Eggs

A government agency is hunting mosquitoes and is looking for help.

FOX’s Pat O’Neill has the details:

Lawmakers are expressing urgency to get a Zika-response plan in place before the height of mosquito season:

(Rogers) “We’ve got to address it as quickly as we can.”

House Appropriations Committee chairman Republican Hal Rogers is out with a $622 million funding bill, but that is well short of the nearly $2 billion request from the White House.

The House measure would fund mosquito control and Zika vaccine efforts through the fiscal year ending in September. The plan calls for spending unused Ebola money and other redirected funds, instead of authorizing new spending.
