This Whitepaper addresses
Increasing Mosquito Disease Vector Morbidity & Mortality Threats
• More Deadly Malaria and Yellow Fever Virus Strains Have Evolved
• Mosquito-transmitted Zeka Virus Threatens Healthy Human Births
• Increasing Mosquito Immunity Developing to Adulticide Agents
• Climate Change Increasing Mosquito Range and Habitat
• Increasing Human Populations in Mosquito Habitat
Limitations of Current Mosquito Control Insecticides – “Adulticides”
Adulticides are Toxic Organochlorine & Organophosphate Nerve Agents
• Exposure Externalities are Extremely Pernicious - “Agent Orange 2.0”
• Cause Human Cancers, Developmental and Learning Disorders, Autism and
Disabilities, and Human, Livestock and Wildlife Death
• Kills non-Target Pollinators, Terrestrial & Aquatic Species
• Fogging/Spraying - Inefficient vs Aquatic Control Measures (US CDC)
Adulticide Chemicals have been Restricted in US Ag & Banned by EU
The Aedes aegypti mosquito - the Malaria, Yellow Fever and Zika virus threat carrier - is
spreading to more places in the US, per the Centers for Disease Control report of 17 February
2017 report.(A.1.a)
The Aedes aegypti mosquito no longer just in the Gulf of Mexico states, but also now found in
the mid-Atlantic, as well as Arizona, California, and New Mexico, plus big cities including
Chicago where mosquitos keep getting brought back.
The CDC has determined that it’s in 38 more counties than previously believed, a 21%
increase.
This document proposes Industrial-Scale Production/Distribution of Natural
Mosquito Larvae Aquatic Predators to maintain Preventative “Firewalls” against
Mosquito Disease Vector Pandemics, and Restricting the use of Toxic Nerve
Agent Adulticides.
A Natural Biology-Based Mosquito Control Program is
• Approved by Agencies, Recognized as Safe and Efficient
• Traditional, Cost Effective and Ecologically Responsible
– Avoids Toxic Nerve Agents’ Externalities
New research presented at the Pediatric Academic Societies 30 April 2016 Meeting suggests
that aerial spraying of anti-mosquito pesticides increased the risk of autism spectrum
disorder by 25% and developmental delays among children.(A.1.b)

Preface
Mosquitoes are the source of more human suffering and devastation than have resulted from any
other single origin. It is believed that Malaria and Yellow Fever have killed more human beings than
all of History’s Wars and Plagues combined. Researchers report that, worldwide, more than one
million deaths and 300 - 500 million malaria cases occur annually, killing a child every 40 seconds.
As the Middle Ages’ and subsequent Black Death Plague cycles changed human History, mosquito-
borne diseases similarly impacted humanity in cycles of suffering and death. For centuries, human
disease depopulation events were thought to result from “bad air,” hence “Malaria’s” etymology, or by
fomites, contaminated personal articles such as bedding or clothing. By the mid 1880’s, Carlos Juan
Finlay developed an insect transmission hypothesis. In 1896, Bacillus icteroides was isolated from
Yellow Fever patients by Giuseppe Sanarelli.
During the US Civil War, 1861-1865, disease accounted for 2 of every 3 combatant deaths; during the
Spanish American War, 1898, the US Army’s casualties from disease were 89.9% of Total US Deaths.
Army Medical Corps officers Walter Reed, Aristides Agramonte and James Carroll were appointed to
investigate Sanarelli’s bacillus, identifying it in one-third of the Yellow Fever patients surveyed. In
1900 Dr. Reed proved that Yellow Fever was caused by the bite of infected Aedes aegypti mosquitoes.
The island of Guadalcanal is in the South Pacific Solomon Islands Group. Its location allowed
Japanese naval and aviation forces to threatened Australia and New Zealand. The US Guadalcanal
Campaign was conducted between August 1942 - February 1943. My father was a Combat Engineer
Officer in the US Army’s Americal Division on Guadalcanal. My Dad told me that insect and climate
factors were equivalent or greater threats to the US Forces than were the Japanese enemy. When the
First Marine Division was finally relieved, it had been decimated by combat losses and tropical
disease. The First Marine Division essentially had to be reconstituted.
Officially: “The greatest single factor reducing troop effectiveness on Guadalcanal was disease,
particularly malaria. For every man who became a casualty in combat, five fell to malaria. Until a more
effective prophylaxis became available, tropical diseases would continue to degrade the efficiency of
ground operations in tropical areas.” DDT was later used extensively by US forces in WW2.
Current mosquito control protocols rely on chlorinated hydrocarbon and organophosphate
insecticides and larvicides. Researchers are recognizing that insecticide spraying has minimum effect
in controlling the Aedes aegypti mosquito responsible for Yellow Fever, Malaria, Chikungunya,
Dengue, and Zika viruses, Asian Tiger or Culex Mosquito, identified in West Nile virus transmission.
The long-term ecological and human toxicological consequences’ resulting from the mosquito control
chemical currently in use is of major concern. The full effects of their residues in the soil and water
column are not yet fully known nor are the health risks from contaminated drinking water. DDT was
banned after its significant environmental problems were exposed by Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring.
The Half-Life of Plutonium, Pu239, is 24,100 years. Halogenated hydrocarbon compounds do not
have a Half-Life; when, for example, Chlorine is compounded with Hydrogen and Carbon, the product
does not degrade over time; these compounds maintain their toxicity ad infinitum.
Predation of mosquito larvae by the Western Mosquito Fish has successfully reduced mosquito
infestations in the US since 1905; additionally, predacious copepods, tiny crustaceans which are
known voracious eaters of mosquito larvae, are successful and efficient natural biological mosquito
abatement agents; predator copepod and finfish habitat stocking programs are proven success stories.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has stated that “adulticiding, application of
chemicals to kill adult mosquitoes by ground or aerial applications, is usually the least efficient
mosquito control technique.” Currently, the primary means of efficiently achieving problem mosquito
vector control is the elimination of the mosquito’s aquatic breeding habitat.
This paper identifies methods that have been used successfully and confirmed by researchers, and
practice, which efficiently achieve abatement of mosquito populations without use of toxic chemicals.

1.0 MOSQUITO ABATEMENT PROGRAM OVERVIEW (1.) (2.) (3.) (4.) (5.) (6.) (7.)
1.1 A Natural Biology-Based Mosquito Control Program
1.1.1 This paper presents a natural biology-based control program which achieves mosquito
abatement and avoids the significant human health and ecological dangers resulting
from the toxic mosquito control poisons presently used to combat mosquito plagues.
1.1.2 This paper offers an alternate, environmentally responsible, cost-effective and
appropriate Systems Approach to mosquito abatement and control.
1.1.3 This solution achieves mosquito abatement and the reduction and even potential
elimination of the extremely dangerous chemical poisons that are applied in residential
and business areas, often directly on the inhabitants, children, pets and livestock.
1.2 Climate Change
1.2.1 Once prevalent worldwide, malaria and yellow fever were virtually eradicated in the
industrial economies following the Second World War largely due to effective insect
control poisons and improvements in sanitation practices.
i. However as of 2012, half the world’s population remains at risk for malaria,
according to the WHO.
ii. Compounding these problems, globally increasing temperatures, deforestation,
expanding mono-cropping, irrigation and other anthropological environmental
changes are introducing mosquitoes to expanded territories worldwide.
ii. Today in sub-Saharan Africa, malaria’s range is expanding to higher elevations
than have ever been previously established.
1.3 “Drain the Swamp” for Mosquito Control
1.3.1 The expression “drain the swamp” has a long history in our lexicon; the saying refers to
controlling disease-carrying mosquitoes by eliminating their aquatic breeding sites.
1.3.2 Mosquito-borne diseases have played havoc on human populations and livestock from
prehistory through this evening’s television news reports.
1.3.3 Due to chronic malaria epidemics, Roman engineers built canals to drain the Pontine
Marshes’ mosquito habitat; Mussolini’s engineers finally eliminated this mosquito
habitat and it’s malarial consequences in the 1930’s.
1.3.4 Wetlands are now recognized as beneficial and are rarely drained for mosquito control
or urban development.
i. Benefits of holding some runoff on site to replenish belowground aquifers and
reduce downstream erosion are becoming more important factors.
1.3.5 Stormwater infrastructure has been identified as a major source of mosquito habitat in
metropolitan areas and can be the single largest source of mosquito vectors.
1.3.6 Retention of stormwater runoff in engineered water-quality structures, water
harvesting containers, and other similar structures, create potential mosquito habitat.
i. Stormwater drainage ditches, storm drains and catch basins are primary
mosquito breeding habitat.
ii. Even during drought cycles, irrigation and other sources of dry-weather runoff
replenish standing water in stormwater catch basins and other structures,
allowing mosquitoes to breed.
This information is the Proprietary, Confidential and Valuable Intellectual Property (IP) of Global Aquatic BioSystems, Inc. 3
iii. Below-average rainfall in many areas of the country suggest that mosquito
populations would be negatively affected.
a. This may have been true for some species, but others flourished in urban
stormwater infrastructure where dry-weather flows maintained standing
water habitats.
b. Stormwater catch basins should be regularly inspected and dosed with
mosquito larvicides as appropriate.
c. Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) larvicides are environmentally
appropriate, biologically based and mosquito-specific control agents.
d. Bti compounds are considered safe by the World Health Organization for
human, fish, avian and non-mosquito family insect populations.
1.4 Modern Mosquito Control Methods
1.4.1 From antiquity to modern times, successful mosquito control results have been
achieved by the disruption of the mosquitos’ aquatic breeding cycle, by elimination of
swamps and ponds and by the introduction of mosquito larvae predators;
i. since the Second World War, mosquito control measures have also included the
application of highly toxic organochlorine and organophosphate-based and
pyrethroid compounds.
ii. Initially, DDT suppressed mosquito outbreaks, but mosquito immunity to DDT
developed and infestations began to be even more severe than previously.
1.4.2 Spraying of insecticide poisons is minimally effectiveness in controlling the Mosquito
as the chemicals must directly contact the insect while it is airborne.
1.4.3 These chemicals are exceptionally dangerous to humans and wildlife; they do not
biodegrade and accumulate in the soil and water column, posing current and long-
term health risks to every living thing in the affected area.
1.4.4 “Attacking malaria around the world and using a lot of drugs will generate drug-
resistant parasites.
1.4.5 And attacking mosquitoes around the world and using a lot of insecticides will
generate insecticide-resistant mosquitoes,” said Sir Richard Feachem, former
executive director of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and
current director of the Global Health Group at the University of California, San
Francisco.
1.4.6 Joseph Conlon, American Mosquito Control Association spokesman, said there are far
better strategies to combat mosquitos than spraying or fogging with toxic chemicals.
i. Joseph Conlon said that the most effective way to combat disease-carrying
mosquitoes is to break the mosquitos’ aquatic breeding cycle, and remove all
water containers and clean up any trash around the house.
ii. Unfortunately, instead of educating at-risk communities, public health policies
for mosquito diseases abatement continually emphasize dangerous poisons use.

1.5 Safe and Cheap Pesticides R&D
1.5.1 The pesticide industry has recently begun searching for insecticide replacements that
are low cost, lethal to insects yet environmentally safe and safe for humans, especially
children.
1.5.2 For decades, there was virtually no investment into insecticide research designed to
protect public health.
i. “The whole field just went dead,” said Sir Richard Feachem.
ii. Instead, efforts focused exclusively on agriculture.
1.5.3 “From the ‘70s onwards, there’ve been eight new classes of chemistries for agriculture
and none for public health,” said John Lucas, business development manager for
global vector control at Sumitomo Chemical, one of the companies now working with
the consortium.
i. “To be honest, the market is huge in ag and relatively tiny in public health,”
Lucas said.
1.6 Naled, Mosquito Vector Control Agencies’ “Go-to” Aerosol Insecticide
1.6.1 Technically, Naled is Dibromo-2-Dichloroethylphosphate.
i. This is a derivative of Dibromo-3-Chloropropane (also known as DBCP),
which farmers in all 50 states stopped using as of 1985.
ii. Naled contains the organophosphate trichlorfon, a powerful neurotoxin
associated with an increased risk of human cancers, autism and birth defects.
1.6.2 Naled is a ubiquitous component of the commercial mosquito-control insecticides and
is applied as an aerosol mist by backpack, vehicular and aerial spraying or “fogging”.
1.6.3 Naled/trichlorfon is an extremely toxic class of nerve agent known to cause respiratory
problems, hypotension, incontinence, gastrointestinal disorders, blurred vision, and
excessive sweating and is likely one of the contributing factors in many neuro-
degenerative disorders, including Parkinson's disease.
i. Symptoms of exposure to naled and all organophosphate insecticides include
headaches, muscle twitching, nausea, diarrhea, difficult breathing, naled kills
insects by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase (AChE), an enzyme involved in the
transmission of nerve impulses from one nerve cell to another.
a.) This causes a “jam” in the transmission system, resulting in restlessness,
depression, seizures, and loss of consciousness.
ii. More severe cases can cause tremors, seizures, coma, convulsions, paralysis,
cancers of the thyroid, breasts, ovaries, esophagus, kidneys and colon, leukemia,
and even death.
iii. A 2014 study conducted at the University of California, showed that pregnant
women living within a few miles of farms where pesticides like Naled were
sprayed had a sixty percent (60%) increased risk of their child
developing autism spectrum disorders or experiencing developmental delays.
iv. Research provides strong evidence to support an environmental explanation for
the large increases being observed nationally in children with attention deficit
disorders (A.D.D.), learning disabilities and other behavior disorders such as
hyperactivity, aggressive disorders and emotional handicaps (EH).
This information is the Proprietary, Confidential and Valuable Intellectual Property (IP) of Global Aquatic BioSystems, Inc. 5
a.) The percentage of Florida students diagnosed with learning disabilities has
risen from 0.50% in 1971 to over 6% by 1998.
b.) Florida’s Governor Scott, speaking to Florida’s Summer 2016 Zika virus
outbreak, announced that mosquito control measures, such as increased
spraying of pesticides, are being stepped up in Miami’s newly announced
transmission zone.
v. Environmental and chemical exposure factors can cause damage to the delicate
brain growth processes in the unborn child during pregnancy, thereby
demonstrating potential to cause Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit
Disorder, Hyperactivity and other child behavior anomalies.
vi. Microcephaly is a congenital defect of cranium and brain size which results in
profound brain anomalies in newborns which usually result in the death of the
infant.
vii. As of May, 2016, medical researchers conclude that a causal relationship exists
between prenatal Zika Virus infection and microcephaly and other serious
brain anomalies.
viii. Other research is investigating the possibility that the microcephaly cases are
the results of the significantly high rates of Naled/trichlorfon -based insecticides
which had been applied in the affected communities in the prior months.
1.6.4 Naled also causes many additional problems; it not only negatively affects human health,
but it's also highly toxic for fish, birds, and beneficial insects, especially bees.
1.7 DEET Topical Mosquito Repellant
1.7.1 Chemically, DEET is "N,N-Diethyl-3-methylbenzamide"
i. When DEET is combined with carbamate class pesticide chemicals, which are
found everywhere in the food supply, the result is a "hyper toxic" brain
damaging chemical cocktail that radically damages brain function.
ii. One of the chemical classes is similar to VX Nerve Gas chemical weapons that
kill mammals within seconds.
iii. Similar to Naled, this chemical cocktail functions as an "acetylcholinesterase
inhibitor," meaning it "paralyzes" brain cells after causing them to be hyper
stimulated.
a.) The result is cognitive confusion, fear, memory loss and other symptoms
that curiously resemble the brain damage we're all told is caused by Zika
virus.
iv. Blocking AChE causes "disrupted neurotransmission" and other damaging
effects to brain cells:
a.) "The enzyme inactivation, induced by various inhibitors, leads to
acetylcholine accumulation, hyperstimulation of nicotinic and muscarinic
receptors, and disrupted neurotransmission."
v. AChE inhibitors work similarly to carbamate and organophosphate pesticides --
two classes of chemicals routinely sprayed all over the national food supply --
meaning that people who slather their skin with DEET are poisoning themselves
with brain-disrupting pesticide chemicals.
This information is the Proprietary, Confidential and Valuable Intellectual Property (IP) of Global Aquatic BioSystems, Inc. 6
a. "In medicine and agriculture, the word 'organophosphates' refers to a
group of insecticides and nerve agents that inhibit AChE."
b. These organophosphates "exert their main toxicological effects through
non-reversible phosphorylation of esterases in the central nervous
system."
c. "The acute toxic effects are related to irreversible inactivation of AChE."
d. In other words, some classes of AChE inhibitors can cause irreversible
damage to the central nervous system.
1.7.2 DEET "toxicity is primarily neurologic (encephalopathy, seizures,
movement disorders, coma) and may occur via oral or dermal exposure,
most commonly in children."
i. "dermal exposure" (i.e. putting it on your skin) and appears "most
commonly in children" and can result in "seizures" and
"encephalopathy" in those children.
ii. Symptoms of DEET Exposure:
a. Eye and mucous membrane irritation.
b. Ingestion can cause CNS disturbances.
c. Desquamation about the nose, dryness of face, a slight tingling sensation.
d. Toxicity is primarily neurologic (encephalopathy, seizures, movement
disorders, coma) and may occur via oral or dermal exposure, most
commonly in children.
e. Bradycardia is rare but has been reported after dermal exposure to
DEET.
f. Hypotension has been reported after large ingestions.
g. Eye contact may result in a smarting sensation. A burning sensation of
the lips, tongue and mouth may be noted.
h. Confusion, ataxia, hypertonicity, and clonic jerking progressing to coma
and seizures may occur after acute oral or chronic dermal exposure.
i. Abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting.

1.9 Biological Mosquito Abatement Program’s Value Proposition
1.9.1 Global Aquatic BioSystems, Inc. is a Public Benefit enterprise collaboration between
Great Plains Biosciences Group, LLC (Great Plains) and AgOil International, Inc.
(AgOil).
1.9.2 The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has stated that
“adulticiding, application of chemicals to kill adult mosquitoes by ground or aerial
applications, is usually the least efficient mosquito control technique.”
i. Currently, the primary means of efficiently achieving mosquito
vector control is the elimination of its’ aquatic breeding habitat.
1.9.3 Global Aquatic Biosystems’ herein presented mosquito vector control program
assumes a new paradigm in long term mosquito control and abatement using all
natural methods to:
i. reduce the illness, death and devastation to humans, livestock and the economic
costs caused from mosquito disease vectors;
ii. reduce the use of hazardous chemicals and their harmful and costly side effects
on humans, livestock, soil, water and air quality, food production, and supply;
iii. create a new industry and jobs that provide a safe environment for the workers
and public.
iv. reduce future mosquito vector disease outbreak incidents and the associated
mosquito control and emergency funding needs; and
v. utilize natural biological agents to which mosquitos are unable to develop
immunities;
a. mosquitos have developed immunities to every chemical
insecticide control agent previously and currently in use.
This information is the Proprietary, Confidential and Valuable Intellectual Property (IP) of Global Aquatic BioSystems, Inc. 8
1.9.4 Global Aquatic Biosystems’ program achieves mosquito vector control while reducing
and potentially eliminating the toxic and extremely dangerous chlorinated
hydrocarbon and organophosphate powerful neurotoxin insecticides and larvicides
currently in use known to be associated with increased risk of human cancers, autism
and birth defects.
i. This program is a sustainable and cost-effective solution that primarily
produces indigenous native invertebrate and finfish aquatic predator species for
very high in-situ mosquito larvae consumption rates.
ii. This program produces and distributes predator zooplankton and finfish to
candidate mosquito breeding water bodies.
a. Robust breeding populations of indigenous predator copepod and finfish are
established and maintained with these beneficial aquatic predators regularly
replenished on an as-needed programmed basis by this vector control
program.
b. These indigenous species are a part of the natural aquatic food chain and
contribute to improved regional sport fishing attributes as they are in turn
consumed by larger predator species.
c. These aquatic predators are also provided to government agencies and
individuals for their application to candidate sites.
iii. These recommended program elements are known to be efficient and effective
measures for killing the mosquito in its aquatic habitat.
iv. This program fosters dramatically improved Child Welfare benefits.
v. This program fosters dramatically improved Public Health benefits
vi. This program fosters lower direct and indirect parasitic Healthcare current and
future years’ costs.
vii. These programs are far more cost-effective than the current programs that rely
on chemical poisons and will not result in the mosquito’s development of
immunity to the control agents
a. Costs are associated with the construction and operation of the aquatic
predator production labs and lab and logistics staffs that requires funding,
which is not required when only buying insecticides.
b. Ongoing predatory zooplankton and finfish Production and O&M costs
produce these mosquito vector control agents at sustainably low “out the
door” costs while eliminating all of the collateral human, livestock and
ecological damage/destruction.
c. This proposed program’s Net Effective Costs are dramatically more
factorable than the current costs of continuing application of poisonous
insecticides when human morbidity and mortality, ecological consequences
and loss of business and tax revenue externalities are appropriately
accounted for.
d. Additionally, this program fosters employment and educational
benefits and creates a legacy appropriate environmental platform.
1.9.5 Leveraging “Sustainable” environmental management tactics that are proving very
successful:
This information is the Proprietary, Confidential and Valuable Intellectual Property (IP) of Global Aquatic BioSystems, Inc. 9
i. Draining ditches and removing weeds to eliminate sites for mosquitoes to breed –
traditional practices largely abandoned with the advent of DDT – helped cut malaria
cases by more than half in Mexico and Central America in recent years.
ii. Some Mexican states control mosquitoes that breed in algae-covered ponds by
skimming the water surface once a week.
iii. Other places, including many parts of the U.S. and Europe, treat breeding sites with
biological agents that kill insect larvae.
iv. Demonstration Programs conducted in Florida and The Republic of Vietnam
confirmed that zooplankton predators, copepods, were extremely efficient mosquito
vector control agents, achieving 90-to-99% reduction of mosquito populations and
reduction of disease.
1.9.6 Each Global Aquatic BioSystems’ standard production lab will produce at least 220 Billion
copepods per year at a projected cost of $12.22/Million which can potentially consume more
than 662.6 Trillion mosquito larvae (5 Yr. average, 4 recharge cycles/Yr. 33% survival rate
and 20 larvae/copepod/Day).
i. As many as 21 Million mosquitofish will be produced at a per-unit cost of $ 0.02;
ii. Each Global Aquatic BioSystems standard production lab will produce an annual
mosquito vector abatement capability in excess of 1,000 Trillion larvae/Year.
2.0 MOSQUITO LIFE CYCLE (8.) (9.)
2.1 All mosquito species go through four distinct stages during their life cycle.
a) egg - hatches when exposed to water;
b) larva - (plural: larvae) "wriggler" lives in water; molts several times; most
species surface to breathe air;
c) pupa - (plural: pupae) "tumbler" does not feed; stage just before emerging as
adult’
d) adult - flies short time after emerging and after its body parts have hardened.
2.2 The first three stages occur in water, but the adult is an active flying insect.
2.2.1 Only the female mosquito feeds on the blood of humans or other animals.
a) After she obtains a blood meal, the female mosquito lays the eggs directly on or
near water, soil and at the base of some plants in places that may fill with water.
The eggs can survive dry conditions for a few months.
b) The eggs hatch in water and a mosquito larva or "wriggler" emerges. The length
of time to hatch depends on water temperature, food and type of mosquito.
c) The larva lives in the water, feeds and develops into the third stage of the life
cycle called, a pupa or "tumbler." The pupa also lives in the water but no longer
feeds.
d) Finally, the mosquito emerges from the pupal case after two days to a week in
the pupal stage.
e) The life cycle typically takes up two weeks, but depending on conditions, it can
range from 4 days to as long as a month.
2.3 The adult mosquito emerges onto the water's surface and flies away, completing its
lifecycle.

3.0 MOSQUITO-BORNE DISEASES (9.) (10.)
3.1 Mosquitoes are the source of more human suffering, morbidity and mortality than
from any other single source - over one million people worldwide die from mosquito-
borne diseases annually, with associated Public Health and GDP economic
consequences.
3.1.1 Mosquitoes not only carry diseases that afflict human populations, they also infect dog
and horse populations with diseases and parasites.
3.2 Malaria
3.2.1 The malaria parasite (plasmodium) is transmitted by female Anopheles mosquitoes. In
North America Anopheles quadrimaculatus and Anopheles freeborni are the primary
vector of the Plasmodium vivax (the malaria protozoa).
3.2.2 Malaria is an ancient disease which, with Yellow Fever, has killed more humans than
all of History’s wars, Plagues and pestilence combined. Researchers report that,
worldwide, more than one million deaths and 300 - 500 million malaria cases are still
reported annually; these statistics indicate that malaria kills one child every 40
seconds.
3.2.3 In the United States mosquito borne diseases affected colonization patterns, economic
and political development along the Atlantic and Gulf littorals and wasn't effectively
controlled until the 1940s.
3.2.4 Scotland’s Caledonia colony in Panama’s Gulf of Darian collapsed in March 1700 due
to mosquito-borne epidemics, contributing to Scotland’s economic devastation and
continued political and economic subjugation by England for the next 300 additional
years.
3.2.5 Approximately 40% of the world's population is susceptible to malaria, mostly in
tropical and sub-tropical regions.
This information is the Proprietary, Confidential and Valuable Intellectual Property (IP) of Global Aquatic BioSystems, Inc. 11
3.2.6 Organochlorine and organophosphate insecticides have greatly reduced malarial
mosquito health threats in the world’s temperate zones since their development in the
20th century, however, malaria is still present in northern Europe.
3.3 Yellow Fever
3.3.1 Caused by the Yellow Fever Mosquito, Aedes aegypti, Yellow Fever, with a 400-year
history, currently occurring only in tropical areas of Africa and the Americas; it does
not occur in Asia.

3.3.2 Annually, about 200,000 cases occur with 30,000 deaths in 33 countries.
3.3.3 Following a Yellow Fever outbreak in the Mississippi Valley killing 20,000 people in
1878, the Federal Government began initiating public health reform programs.
3.3.4 June 2016 - Congo declares yellow fever epidemic with 1,000 cases (11.) (12.)
a) “An outbreak of yellow fever has hit the Democratic Republic of Congo, just
weeks after the Red Cross warned that another outbreak in neighboring Angola
risked sparking a “global crisis”.
b) Evidence is mounting that the current outbreak of yellow fever is becoming the
latest global health emergency; vaccine “supply shortages could spark a health
security crisis.”
3.4 Chikungunya
3.4.1 The mosquito species that transmit the Chikungunya virus is a pathogen transmitted
by the Asian Tiger Mosquito, Aedes albopictus and the Yellow Fever Mosquito,
Aedes aegypti.
3.4.2 Although rarely fatal, the symptoms are debilitating and excruciating joint pain which
may persist for several weeks. There is no vaccine and treatment is limited to pain
medication.
This information is the Proprietary, Confidential and Valuable Intellectual Property (IP) of Global Aquatic BioSystems, Inc. 12
3.4.3 Mosquito control methods of truck-mounted and aerial insecticide spraying have
minimum benefit as it is difficult to obtain contact with the agent spray droplets during
mosquito flight. Currently, the primary means of controlling both species is to
eliminate their breeding habitat.
3.5 Dog Heartworm
3.5.1 Dog heartworm, Dirofilaria immitis, can be a life-threatening disease for canines. The
disease is caused by a roundworm through the bite of a mosquito carrying the larvae of
the worm.
3.5.2 The disease is dependent on both the mammal and the mosquito to fulfill its life cycle.
The young worms (microfilaria) circulate in the blood stream of the dog.
3.5.3 These worms must infect a mosquito in order to complete their lifecycle; mosquitoes
become infected when they blood feed on the sick dog.
3.6 Dengue
3.6.1 Dengue is a serious arboviral disease of the Americas, Asia and Africa spread by Aedes
aegypti and Aedes albopictus.
3.6.2 While dengue has a low mortality, its victims experience very painful symptoms and
has become more serious, both in frequency and mortality, in recent years.
3.6.3 These mosquitoes are not well controlled by standard insecticide spraying techniques.
3.7 West Nile virus (WNV)
3.7.1 West Nile Virus (WNV) emerged in Uganda, Africa, in 1937, then migrated to the
Middle East, Europe, and Asia.
3.7.2 West Nile Virus is a Flavivirus with more than 70 currently identified associated
viruses; it is cycled between birds and mosquitoes and transmitted to mammals,
including horses and man by infected mosquitoes, the Culex pipiens group is the most
common mosquito species associated with transmission.
3.7.3 There is now a vaccine for horses.
3.7.4 There are varying degrees of severity of the WNV illness in humans:
a) West Nile Fever might be the least severe in "flu"- like symptoms lasting a few
days or weeks;
b) The other types are grouped as "neuroinvasive disease" affecting the nervous
system;
c) West Nile encephalitis which affects the brain; and
d) West Nile meningitis (meningoencephalitis), which is an inflammation of the
brain and the membrane surrounding it.
3.7.5 WNV first appeared in North America in 1999 in New York State.
3.7.6 As of 2014, there have been 36,437 cases of WNV reported to the Center for Disease
Control and Prevention, 15,774 have resulted in meningitis/encephalitis and 1538 were
fatal.
3.7.7 The CDC estimates that there have been at least 1.5 million infections (82% are
asymptomatic) and over 350,000 cases of WNV, but the disease is grossly under
reported due to its similarity to other viral infections.
This information is the Proprietary, Confidential and Valuable Intellectual Property (IP) of Global Aquatic BioSystems, Inc. 13
3.8 Zika Virus
3.8.1 Zika was first detected in 1947 in the Zika Forest of Uganda, Africa; it is a Flavivirus
related to West Nile, Yellow Fever, St Louis and the equine encephalitides.
a) Following its discovery in 2014 off the coast of South America, Zika cases have
been found in 35 countries in the Western Hemisphere.
3.8.2 The Zika transmission vector is typically through the bit of an infected Aedes agypti or
Aedes albopictus mosquito; however in rare cases Zika can be spread through sexual
contact with an infected person.
a) These mosquitoes are not well controlled by standard spraying techniques as it
is difficult to obtain contact with the insecticide spray droplets during mosquito
flight.
b) Currently, the primary means of controlling both species is to eliminate their
breeding habitat.
3.8.3 The Zika virus infection is typically a mild, “Flu”- like illness, with fever, rash, and joint
pain lasting a few days to several weeks.
3.8.4 Many cases are not reported as patients are often not sufficiently ill to seek medical
treatment.
3.8.5 It is believed that immunity is developed following the first Zika infection.
3.9 Zika Virus Birth Defects, Paralysis and Death (14.) (15.) (16.) (17.)
3.9.1 Occasionally, paralysis and death has been linked to Zika infection due to Guillain-
Barré syndrome, an autoimmune condition which causes nerve cell damage.
3.9.2 The Zika virus has spread rapidly in the Americas since being identified in Brazil in
2015.
a) As of May, 2016, medical researchers conclude that a causal relationship exists
between prenatal Zika Virus infection and microcephaly and other serious brain
anomalies.
b) Microcephaly is a congenital defect of cranium and brain size which results in
profound brain anomalies in newborns which usually result in the death of the
infant.
3.9.3 A group of South American doctors are now saying the brain deformations the world is
witnessing are caused by the mass fumigation of low-income Brazilian people with
chemical larvicides, not by mosquitoes carrying the Zika virus.
3.9.4 The doctors at Red Universitaria de Ambiente y Salud have published:
a) A dramatic increase of congenital malformations, especially
microcephaly in newborns, was detected and quickly linked to the
Zika virus by the Brazilian Ministry of Health.
b) However, they fail to recognize that in the area where most of the
sick persons live, a chemical larvicide producing malformations in
mosquitoes has been applied for 18 months, and that this poison
(pyroproxyfen) is applied by the State on drinking water used by
the affected population.
3.9.5 As of 28 April 2016, 426 reported cases of Zika virus in the United States due to travel
to endemic areas.
This information is the Proprietary, Confidential and Valuable Intellectual Property (IP) of Global Aquatic BioSystems, Inc. 14
a) Local transmission within the continental United States has, as yet, 28 April
2016, not been reported.
b) Of these 426 cases, thirty-two were pregnant women and seven were
sexually transmitted.
c) N0te: as of 02 August, 2016, 14 cases of Zika Virus have been reported having
been contracted in the Miami Florida area, and several businesses have
temporally closed due to the Zika threat. (18.)
3.9.6 Dr. Anne Schuchat from the CDC said the Zika virus is more of a threat than
previously thought
a) “Most of what we’ve learned is not reassuring.
b) Everything we look at with this virus seems to be a bit scarier than we
initially thought.”
3.9.7 Dr. Anthony Fauci from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease said:
a) “This is a very unusual virus that we can’t pretend to know everything about.
b) I’m not an alarmist… but the more we learn about the neurological aspects, the
more we look around and say this is very serious.”
4.0 BREVARD MOSQUITO CONTROL PESTICIDES ENVIRONMENTAL &
HEALTH EFFECTS RESEARCH (19.) (20.)
4.1 Mosquito Pesticide Effects Research at the University of Florida
4.1.1 The following research was located from the University of Florida Medical Library
regarding environmental and public health effects found to occur from exposure to the
mosquito control pesticides - dibrom (naled) - permethrin - and other chemical
ingredients found in dibrom, which include - dichlorvos and trichlorfon.
4.1.2 Information was compiled by Richard W. Pressinger, M.Ed. and Wayne Sinclair, M.D.
4.2 Pesticides are far more dangerous than believed; alternative replacement
critical
4.2.1 The evidence clearly shows these chemicals are far more harmful than previously
believed and emphasizes the critical importance for implementing immediate
alternatives.
4.3 Background on Brevard's Mosquito Pesticides
4.3.1 Brevard County Mosquito Control is currently using the pesticide "permethrin" in its
"mosquito truck" spray program along with the use of the pesticide "dibrom" (naled) in
its aerial spray program.
4.3.2 The potential health and environmental effects outlined below strongly support the
importance of finding alternatives to these pesticides as soon as possible.
a) Chromosome/Genetic Damage Evident in Immune System Cells from Permethrin.
b) Helicopter Application Pesticide Dibrom Contains Carcinogenic Chemistry:
This information is the Proprietary, Confidential and Valuable Intellectual Property (IP) of Global Aquatic BioSystems, Inc. 15
a. "Dichlorvos caused or was associated with neoplastic responses in rats
(pancreas, hematopoietic system, and possibly the mammary gland)
and in mice (forestomach)."
b. As thousands of gallons of this chemical have been sprayed over
populated areas in the Brevard community and into the Indian River -
the potential for irreversible damage to public health, wildlife and marine
life must be considered in light of the above research.
c. Elevated Brain Damage Found from Mosquito Control Pesticide
i. CHEM-TOX COMMENT: How many pregnant women in Brevard
County may have been at the "critical period" for their child's
neurological development will not be known.
ii. However, the fact that this study shows that neurological damage can
easily occur in animals (who are often less sensitive than humans to
harmful neurological effects) is enough to warrant serious re-evaluation
regarding the use of this toxic chemical over populated areas.
c) Liver Damage is Linked to Mosquito Pesticide Ingredients Trichlorfon and
Dichlorvos
d) Marine Life Damaged by Pesticide Dibrom
i. Florida Turtles Suffer Unusually High Cancer Rate
ii. Central Florida River systems are currently running out of time because
of the damaging impact of pesticides and chemicals from lawn
spray applications, commercial citrus grove run-off and large scale aerial
and truck applications of mosquito control pesticides.
iii. Fish and other aquatic organisms (especially shrimp) have been reported
as experiencing mutations in development and alterations in important
behaviors critical to the survival of the organism from very low levels of
pesticide run-off exposure.
e) Child Leukemia & Aplastic Anemia after DDVP Exposure
f) Pesticide Exposure Can Increase Infections in Humans
g) Don't Be Misled By "Safety" Claims
i. Most people erroneously judge the danger of chemicals based on the
word "toxic."
ii. This occurs because the term "toxic" is loosely referred to as - the
amount of a chemical needed to kill an animal or person.
iii. Chemical Industry Spokesmen conveniently forget to mention that there
are hundreds of other health effects from chemicals besides their overt
toxicity (death).
iv. In fact, if you think about it, death is really the last thing we're concerned
about since exposure to levels much lower than those considered "toxic"
are being shown to affect the immune and nervous system in many subtle
ways.

4.4 What You Need To Know About Naled (20.) (21.) (22.) (23.) (24.) (25.) (26.)
4.4.1 The Germans invented nerve agents during World War II
4.4.2 Naled is a nerve agent
a) As an organophosphate insecticide, naled works by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase
(AChE) which is an important enzyme that is involved in the transmission of nerve
impulses through nervous tissue.
b) Without this enzyme, the transmissions between nerves become jammed which
ultimately leads to paralysis and death.
c) Insects such as honey bees are highly susceptible to naled’s effects and the alfalfa
leaf cutting bees and alkali bees are at an even greater risk.
d) Parasitoid wasps that lay their eggs in other juvenile insects are also at risk from
this pesticide.
e) Essentially, naled limits the diversity of the insect population in the area that it is
sprayed. Insects are not all that naled effects, however.
f) Fish such as lake trout, rainbow trout, cutthroat trout and catfish find naled to be
highly toxic.
g) Naled can be moderately to highly toxic to migratory water fowl, the most sensitive
bird being the Canada goose.
h) Naled has also been proven to effect reproduction in Mallard ducks.
i After exposed to the insecticide, these ducks laid fewer eggs and
consequently hatched fewer ducklings than unexposed ducks.
4.4.3 Must bear the signal words "Danger-Poison"
4.4.4 Naled is the most toxic of the mosquito adulticides and is the only
mosquito adulticide in class 1, the highest toxicity, with the signal word
"Danger".
4.4.5 Naled is the only one that states in its label: inhaling can be FATAL.
4.4.6 Once in the bloodstream, Naled may cross the placenta.
4.4.7 Naled is corrosive to the skin and eyes and may cause permanent damage.
a) "Naled applications were successful in achieving short-term
reductions in mosquito abundance.
b) However, despite repetitive applications, populations of the primary
vector of EEE virus, Cs. melanura, have increased 15-fold at Cicero
Swamp."
4.4.8 An 11 year research project from the New York State Department of Health provides
the strongest evidence to date linking pesticide applications with INCREASING THE
INCIDENCE OF ENCEPHALITIS CARRYING MOSQUITOES - BY FIFTEEN FOLD!

5.0 GLOBAL AQUATIC BIOSYSTEMS’ BIOLOGICAL MOSQUITO ABATEMENT
PROGRAM (27.) (41.) (42.)
5.1. Our labs produce Algae, Zooplankton – Rotifers, Copepods - and Finfish.
5.1.1 The Copepods and Finfish are distributed to at-risk water bodies where these
predatory species voraciously feed on the aquatic forms of the mosquitoes.
5.1.2 When the mosquito larvae have been consumed in the water source, the introduced
Copepods and Finfish, under proper environmental conditions, typically establish
maintenance populations.
Fig 2. Diversified Algae Production (27.)
5.2 Biological Mosquito Control Program Strategy - Rotifers and Copepods
a) Rotifers are very small plant eating aquatic organisms; Copepods are tiny crustaceans,
which are known voracious eaters of mosquito larvae.
b) Rotifers are similar to their larger marine cousins, Krill, as both are aquatic herbivores.
c) Integral to the food chain, krill are the primary food source for many marine mammals
and fish and are essentially the fuel that runs the engine of the Earth’s marine
ecosystems.
d) The enterprise produces several species of algae to yield a well-balanced, nutritious
diet which is fed to Rotifers, so that the Rotifers are healthy and reproduce vigorously.
e) In turn, Rotifers are fed to Copepods, which must eat live food to grow well and
reproduce.
This information is the Proprietary, Confidential and Valuable Intellectual Property (IP) of Global Aquatic BioSystems, Inc. 18
f) The Copepods are packaged for transport at Global Aquatic BioSciences’ labs and
g) Copepods are indigenous virtually everywhere, and are not an alien contaminant
species.
h) Copepods perform their mosquito larvae predation job in any fresh water body - lake,
pond, stream, gully, cistern or abandoned tire.
i) When there's no remaining mosquito larvae left to eat, they will eat each other as well
as puddle, or even in tires with standing water; Copepods represent a natural food
source for native fish and amphibians.
j) This strategy is environmentally friendly--a natural biological alternative to spraying
poisons.
Fig 3. Microalgae and Zooplankton Production (27.)
5.3 Biological Mosquito Control Program Strategy - Rotifers (27.) (28.)
5.3.1 Rotifers are microscopic and near-microscopic plant-eating aquatic animals, typically
200 to 500 micrometers length; they are an important part of the world’s aquatic
zooplankton and are a significant food source for other aquatic prey species, including
copepods, shrimp and crabs.
5.3.2 Rotifers are omnivorous herbivores found primarily in freshwater environments
worldwide, which feed on dead or decomposing organic materials in soil and
unicellular algae and other phytoplankton.
5.3.3 Rotifers are also present in moist soil, where they inhabit the thin films of water that
are formed around soil particles as well as on mosses and lichens growing on rocks
and tree trunks, in leaf litter, and on mushrooms growing near dead trees.
5.4 Biological Mosquito Control Program Strategy - Copopods (27.) (28.) (29.) (30.)
5.4.1 Cyclopoid copepods have proved more effective for practical mosquito control than
any other invertebrate predator of mosquito larvae.
a) Copepods significant value in mosquito eradication was recognized by
researchers in the early 1980’s.
b) Their operational potential is enhanced by the fact that mass
production is relatively easy and inexpensive.
This information is the Proprietary, Confidential and Valuable Intellectual Property (IP) of Global Aquatic BioSystems, Inc. 19
5.4.2 International research teams working with copepods and mosquito larvae have shown:
a) Each copepod of the most effective species can kill more than 40 Aedes larvae/day.
b) The most effective copepod species maintain large populations in a container
habitat for as long as there is water.
i) Copepods have eliminated Aedes production from water storage tanks
and other container breeding habitats for extended periods.
ii) Use of copepods in Aedes container habitats have been responsible for
virtually all published instances of mosquito eradication in recent years.
iii) They typically reduce Aedes production by 99-100%.
iv) They can achieve local eradication of container-breeding Aedes
mosquitoes if present in a sufficiently high percentage of breeding sites.
v) Field surveys in Anopheles, floodwater Aedes, and Culex breeding
habitats have shown that natural copepod populations can substantially
reduce, or even eliminate, mosquito production.
c) Researchers have demonstrated that the timely introduction of the appropriate
copepod species to the appropriate habitat can eliminate Anopheles or floodwater
Aedes larvae in temporary pools, marshes and rice paddies.
vi) Typically, copepods cannot eliminate Culex production by themselves,
but can augment and enhance other control measures.
viii) The most significant operational use of copepods to date was in Vietnam
(1998-2010) achieving eradication of Ae. aegypti in hundreds of villages.
5.4.3 The University of Florida – IFAS tested the cyclopoid copepod Macrocyclops albidus
(Jurine) as a potential biological control agent of mosquitoes in laboratory
microcosms, in controlled field conditions, and in a 22-mo field experiment using
discarded tires.
5.4.4 The predator was highly efficient in controlling mosquitoes in all three settings,
reaching close to 90% reduction in larval survival under field conditions and
exceeding the recommended predation rates for effective mosquito control in
laboratory experiments.
5.4.5 The predator was most effective on 1-4-d-old larvae. Alternate food and habitat
structure significantly influenced the predation rates on mosquito larvae. Once
established, the copepod was able to maintain reproducing populations in the field for
the duration of the experiments.
5.4.6 This copepod species is a promising candidate for control of mosquito larvae because it
is a widespread +-and highly effective predator that is capable of establishing and
maintaining populations under a wide variety of field conditions. Additionally,
M. albidus is relatively easy to culture, maintain, and deliver to target water bodies.
5.4.7 A notable success in the use of copepods for reduction of disease vectors is that of Vu
Sinh Nam and co-workers, who report effective control of Aedes vectors of dengue in
Vietnam with copepods of the genus Mesocyclops.
5.4.8 The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene’s 2012 Community – Based
Control of Aedes aegypti by Using Mesocyclops in Southern Vietnam summarizes
a Public Health program that operated from 1998 to 2010 which successfully utilized
predacious copepods as a biological mosquito control agent.
This information is the Proprietary, Confidential and Valuable Intellectual Property (IP) of Global Aquatic BioSystems, Inc. 20
5.4.9 In a total of 14 communes with 124,743 residents, the mean ± SD of adult female Aedes
aegypti was reduced from 0.93 ± 0.62 to 0.06 ± 0.09, and the reduction of
Immature Aedes aegypti averaged 98.8%.
a) By the final survey, no adults could be collected in 6 of 14 communes, and one
commune also had no immature forms. At the conclusion of the study, no
confirmed dengue cases were detected in four of the five communes where
diagnostic serologic analysis was performed.
b) In March 2010, the project received a final external review by Vietnamese health
professionals;
d) The project was judged to achieve its objectives with high relevance, efficiency
and efficacy.
5.5 Biological Mosquito Control Program Strategy – Finfish (32.) (33.) (34.)
5.5.1 The Western Mosquitofish - Gambusia affinis (and Gambusia holbrooki) - is a small
live-bearing freshwater fish that feeds primarily on zooplankton and invertebrate prey
at the top of the water column.
a) Typical length is 6.5 cm, dull grey or brown, no side bars or band, rounded tail.
b) Its body is short, has a flattened head and upward pointed mouth for surface
feeding.
c) Native to North America’s Mid-Atlantic and Gulf Slope drainages, the species are
unsuccessful in northern states waters as the species are typically cold
intolerant.
5.5.2 Due to their mosquito-control abilities, Gambusia affinis and Gambusia holbrooki
have been extensively and indiscriminately stocked in throughout the world;
a) Gambusia is well known for their high feeding capacity exceeding 40% of their
body weight per day.
5.5.3 Mosquitofish prey on eggs, larvae, and juveniles of various fishes, and adults of
smaller species as well as potentially alter the microhabitat of some native species.
a) Due to their aggressive and predatory behavior, mosquitofish may negatively
affect populations of small fish through predation and competition and
potentially benefit mosquitos by decreasing competitive pressure from native
zooplankton and predation pressure from predatory invertebrates.
5.5.4 Mosquitofish have been introduced into the waters of 35 of the contiguous States of
the United States, plus Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
5.5.5 Following Hurricane Katrina, an outbreak of the West Nile virus was suppressed by
the introduction of mosquito larva eating fish in abandoned swimming pools.
5.5.6 New Jersey’s Fish, Game and Wildlife Division’s Mosquitofish Program is described in
its document “HOW TO USE THE STATE BIO-CONTROL (MOSQUITOFISH)
PROGRAM FOR MOSQUITO CONTROL IN NEW JERSEY” (34.).
5.5.7 USAToday reported on 8 March 2016, that, in the effort to halt the spread of the
Zika virus in Central America, Public Health Agencies are breeding and distributing
fish that feed on mosquito larva before the insects mature and carry the disease,
which has been linked to an epidemic of birth defects in Brazil and is spreading.
This information is the Proprietary, Confidential and Valuable Intellectual Property (IP) of Global Aquatic BioSystems, Inc. 21
a. In El Salvador, government agencies and NGOs have distributed a native
mosquito eating fish nationwide; Eduardo Espinoza, the Vice Minister of Health
has hailed the Sambo fish as a successful method in reducing the Zika virus.
b. In Mexico, the NGO Operation Blessing plans to curb the disease by the
Gambusia mosquitofish.
5.6 Biological Mosquito Control Program – Other (35.) (36.) (37.) (38.)
5.6.1 Following full production rates of algae, rotifers, copepods and mosquitofish, Global
Aquatic BioSystems, Inc. will undertake developmental investigations for “Factory
breeding” of dragonflies and damselflies which are voracious aerial predators of adult,
flying mosquitos and ecologically benign, biological mosquito control agents.
5.6.2 Additionally, our program will manufacture, distribute and install bat habitat
structures (bat houses) to help abate adult flying mosquitoes.
5.6.3 Bats make up almost a quarter of all mammals, and are the only mammals able to fly.
5.6.4 70% of the more than 1,000 bat species are insectivores, meaning that they feed
exclusively on insects.
a) Some insectivorous bats can catch up to 600+ mosquitoes per hour.
b) In Austin, Texas there is a bat colony, estimated to have up to 1.5 million bats during
peak season, that has been estimated to eat almost 10,000-30,000 pounds of insects.
c) Most bat houses, when placed properly, will be occupied within one year of placement
5.6.5 Dragonflies and Damselflies
a) Dragonflies and damselflies each can consume hundreds of mosquitoes per
day; they are valued flying insectivores and help control harmful flying insects.
b) Dragonflies’ habitats are near lakes, ponds, streams and wetlands as their
larvae are aquatic.
i. The larvae eat almost any living thing smaller than themselves, typically
bloodworms, other aquatic insect larvae and also small fish.
c) Adult dragonflies do not bite or sting humans.
5.6.6 Endod, African soapberry (39.)
a) Endod (Phytolacca dodecandra), known as the African soapberry plant, is a
perennial; its berries have long been used as a laundry soap and shampoo.
i. Endod is synonymous with 'soap' in many African countries.
b) Aqueous compounds of the Endod are effective against immature mosquitoes
and it can be suitable for controlling mosquitoes in small man made mosquito
breeding sites; large-scale mosquito control measures will require the
development of effective Endod production and processing methods.
c) The University of Toledo (Toledo Ohio) has applied for a Patent on the use of
Endod to control zebra mussels in power plant coolant piping systems, the
application of which replaces toxic pollutants currently in use.
d) Use of these plant extracts in mosquito breeding areas will help control and
prevent mosquito-borne diseases in an environmentally responsible manner.

6.0 FOOD, MEDICINES AND ANIMAL FEED FROM ALGAE (40.) (41.) (42.) (43.)
a) Scientists estimate that algae are responsible for about 90% of the
photosynthesis that take place on Earth.
b) Algae form the first link in the series of organisms that make up the Earth’s
food chain and they grow just about everywhere from the tropics to the ice-
covered polar regions.
c) Algae gather the energy of the sun and store it in the form of food.
d) Algae are elementary plants that use sunlight to convert lifeless inorganic
chemicals into organic life forms.
e) Algae help to oxygenate the waters in which they live, making life possible for
oxygen-dependant animals and fish; kelp is also an important terrestrial
animal feed and fertilizer.
f) Algae are one of the most essential plants supporting life on the planet.
6.1 Chlorella - A Valuable Algae
6.1.1 Chlorella is a single-celled algae that grows in fresh water.
6.1.2 Chlorella emerged over 2 billion years ago, and was the first form of a plant with a
well-defined nucleus.
6.1.3 Because Chlorella is a microscopic organism, it was not discovered until the late 19th
century, deriving its name from the Greek, "chloros" meaning green and "ella"
meaning small.
6.1.4 Chlorella contains the highest amount of chlorophyll of any known plant.

  • 5. This information is the Proprietary, Confidential and Valuable Intellectual Property (IP) of Global Aquatic BioSystems, Inc. 1 Preface Mosquitoes are the source of more human suffering and devastation than have resulted from any other single origin. It is believed that Malaria and Yellow Fever have killed more human beings than all of History’s Wars and Plagues combined. Researchers report that, worldwide, more than one million deaths and 300 - 500 million malaria cases occur annually, killing a child every 40 seconds. As the Middle Ages’ and subsequent Black Death Plague cycles changed human History, mosquito- borne diseases similarly impacted humanity in cycles of suffering and death. For centuries, human disease depopulation events were thought to result from “bad air,” hence “Malaria’s” etymology, or by fomites, contaminated personal articles such as bedding or clothing. By the mid 1880’s, Carlos Juan Finlay developed an insect transmission hypothesis. In 1896, Bacillus icteroides was isolated from Yellow Fever patients by Giuseppe Sanarelli. During the US Civil War, 1861-1865, disease accounted for 2 of every 3 combatant deaths; during the Spanish American War, 1898, the US Army’s casualties from disease were 89.9% of Total US Deaths. Army Medical Corps officers Walter Reed, Aristides Agramonte and James Carroll were appointed to investigate Sanarelli’s bacillus, identifying it in one-third of the Yellow Fever patients surveyed. In 1900 Dr. Reed proved that Yellow Fever was caused by the bite of infected Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. The island of Guadalcanal is in the South Pacific Solomon Islands Group. Its location allowed Japanese naval and aviation forces to threatened Australia and New Zealand. The US Guadalcanal Campaign was conducted between August 1942 - February 1943. My father was a Combat Engineer Officer in the US Army’s Americal Division on Guadalcanal. My Dad told me that insect and climate factors were equivalent or greater threats to the US Forces than were the Japanese enemy. When the First Marine Division was finally relieved, it had been decimated by combat losses and tropical disease. The First Marine Division essentially had to be reconstituted. Officially: “The greatest single factor reducing troop effectiveness on Guadalcanal was disease, particularly malaria. For every man who became a casualty in combat, five fell to malaria. Until a more effective prophylaxis became available, tropical diseases would continue to degrade the efficiency of ground operations in tropical areas.” DDT was later used extensively by US forces in WW2. Current mosquito control protocols rely on chlorinated hydrocarbon and organophosphate insecticides and larvicides. Researchers are recognizing that insecticide spraying has minimum effect in controlling the Aedes aegypti mosquito responsible for Yellow Fever, Malaria, Chikungunya, Dengue, and Zika viruses, Asian Tiger or Culex Mosquito, identified in West Nile virus transmission. The long-term ecological and human toxicological consequences’ resulting from the mosquito control chemical currently in use is of major concern. The full effects of their residues in the soil and water column are not yet fully known nor are the health risks from contaminated drinking water. DDT was banned after its significant environmental problems were exposed by Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring. The Half-Life of Plutonium, Pu239, is 24,100 years. Halogenated hydrocarbon compounds do not have a Half-Life; when, for example, Chlorine is compounded with Hydrogen and Carbon, the product does not degrade over time; these compounds maintain their toxicity ad infinitum. Predation of mosquito larvae by the Western Mosquito Fish has successfully reduced mosquito infestations in the US since 1905; additionally, predacious copepods, tiny crustaceans which are known voracious eaters of mosquito larvae, are successful and efficient natural biological mosquito abatement agents; predator copepod and finfish habitat stocking programs are proven success stories. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has stated that “adulticiding, application of chemicals to kill adult mosquitoes by ground or aerial applications, is usually the least efficient mosquito control technique.” Currently, the primary means of efficiently achieving problem mosquito vector control is the elimination of the mosquito’s aquatic breeding habitat. This paper identifies methods that have been used successfully and confirmed by researchers, and practice, which efficiently achieve abatement of mosquito populations without use of toxic chemicals. - F.D. Parker August 29, 2016

(6.) (7.) 1.1 A Natural Biology-Based Mosquito Control Program 1.1.1 This paper presents a natural biology-based control program which achieves mosquito abatement and avoids the significant human health and ecological dangers resulting from the toxic mosquito control poisons presently used to combat mosquito plagues. 1.1.2 This paper offers an alternate, environmentally responsible, cost-effective and appropriate Systems Approach to mosquito abatement and control. 1.1.3 This solution achieves mosquito abatement and the reduction and even potential elimination of the extremely dangerous chemical poisons that are applied in residential and business areas, often directly on the inhabitants, children, pets and livestock. 1.2 Climate Change 1.2.1 Once prevalent worldwide, malaria and yellow fever were virtually eradicated in the industrial economies following the Second World War largely due to effective insect control poisons and improvements in sanitation practices. i. However as of 2012, half the world’s population remains at risk for malaria, according to the WHO. ii. Compounding these problems, globally increasing temperatures, deforestation, expanding mono-cropping, irrigation and other anthropological environmental changes are introducing mosquitoes to expanded territories worldwide. ii. Today in sub-Saharan Africa, malaria’s range is expanding to higher elevations than have ever been previously established. 1.3 “Drain the Swamp” for Mosquito Control 1.3.1 The expression “drain the swamp” has a long history in our lexicon; the saying refers to controlling disease-carrying mosquitoes by eliminating their aquatic breeding sites. 1.3.2 Mosquito-borne diseases have played havoc on human populations and livestock from prehistory through this evening’s television news reports. 1.3.3 Due to chronic malaria epidemics, Roman engineers built canals to drain the Pontine Marshes’ mosquito habitat; Mussolini’s engineers finally eliminated this mosquito habitat and it’s malarial consequences in the 1930’s. 1.3.4 Wetlands are now recognized as beneficial and are rarely drained for mosquito control or urban development. i. Benefits of holding some runoff on site to replenish belowground aquifers and reduce downstream erosion are becoming more important factors. 1.3.5 Stormwater infrastructure has been identified as a major source of mosquito habitat in metropolitan areas and can be the single largest source of mosquito vectors. 1.3.6 Retention of stormwater runoff in engineered water-quality structures, water harvesting containers, and other similar structures, create potential mosquito habitat. i. Stormwater drainage ditches, storm drains and catch basins are primary mosquito breeding habitat. ii. Even during drought cycles, irrigation and other sources of dry-weather runoff replenish standing water in stormwater catch basins and other structures, allowing mosquitoes to breed.
  • 7. This information is the Proprietary, Confidential and Valuable Intellectual Property (IP) of Global Aquatic BioSystems, Inc. 3 iii. Below-average rainfall in many areas of the country suggest that mosquito populations would be negatively affected. a. This may have been true for some species, but others flourished in urban stormwater infrastructure where dry-weather flows maintained standing water habitats. b. Stormwater catch basins should be regularly inspected and dosed with mosquito larvicides as appropriate. c. Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) larvicides are environmentally appropriate, biologically based and mosquito-specific control agents. d. Bti compounds are considered safe by the World Health Organization for human, fish, avian and non-mosquito family insect populations. 1.4 Modern Mosquito Control Methods 1.4.1 From antiquity to modern times, successful mosquito control results have been achieved by the disruption of the mosquitos’ aquatic breeding cycle, by elimination of swamps and ponds and by the introduction of mosquito larvae predators; i. since the Second World War, mosquito control measures have also included the application of highly toxic organochlorine and organophosphate-based and pyrethroid compounds. ii. Initially, DDT suppressed mosquito outbreaks, but mosquito immunity to DDT developed and infestations began to be even more severe than previously. 1.4.2 Spraying of insecticide poisons is minimally effectiveness in controlling the Mosquito as the chemicals must directly contact the insect while it is airborne. 1.4.3 These chemicals are exceptionally dangerous to humans and wildlife; they do not biodegrade and accumulate in the soil and water column, posing current and long- term health risks to every living thing in the affected area. 1.4.4 “Attacking malaria around the world and using a lot of drugs will generate drug- resistant parasites. 1.4.5 And attacking mosquitoes around the world and using a lot of insecticides will generate insecticide-resistant mosquitoes,” said Sir Richard Feachem, former executive director of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and current director of the Global Health Group at the University of California, San Francisco. 1.4.6 Joseph Conlon, American Mosquito Control Association spokesman, said there are far better strategies to combat mosquitos than spraying or fogging with toxic chemicals. i. Joseph Conlon said that the most effective way to combat disease-carrying mosquitoes is to break the mosquitos’ aquatic breeding cycle, and remove all water containers and clean up any trash around the house. ii. Unfortunately, instead of educating at-risk communities, public health policies for mosquito diseases abatement continually emphasize dangerous poisons use.
  • 8. This information is the Proprietary, Confidential and Valuable Intellectual Property (IP) of Global Aquatic BioSystems, Inc. 4 1.5 Safe and Cheap Pesticides R&D 1.5.1 The pesticide industry has recently begun searching for insecticide replacements that are low cost, lethal to insects yet environmentally safe and safe for humans, especially children. 1.5.2 For decades, there was virtually no investment into insecticide research designed to protect public health. i. “The whole field just went dead,” said Sir Richard Feachem. ii. Instead, efforts focused exclusively on agriculture. 1.5.3 “From the ‘70s onwards, there’ve been eight new classes of chemistries for agriculture and none for public health,” said John Lucas, business development manager for global vector control at Sumitomo Chemical, one of the companies now working with the consortium. i. “To be honest, the market is huge in ag and relatively tiny in public health,” Lucas said. 1.6 Naled, Mosquito Vector Control Agencies’ “Go-to” Aerosol Insecticide 1.6.1 Technically, Naled is Dibromo-2-Dichloroethylphosphate. i. This is a derivative of Dibromo-3-Chloropropane (also known as DBCP), which farmers in all 50 states stopped using as of 1985. ii. Naled contains the organophosphate trichlorfon, a powerful neurotoxin associated with an increased risk of human cancers, autism and birth defects. 1.6.2 Naled is a ubiquitous component of the commercial mosquito-control insecticides and is applied as an aerosol mist by backpack, vehicular and aerial spraying or “fogging”. 1.6.3 Naled/trichlorfon is an extremely toxic class of nerve agent known to cause respiratory problems, hypotension, incontinence, gastrointestinal disorders, blurred vision, and excessive sweating and is likely one of the contributing factors in many neuro- degenerative disorders, including Parkinson's disease. i. Symptoms of exposure to naled and all organophosphate insecticides include headaches, muscle twitching, nausea, diarrhea, difficult breathing, naled kills insects by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase (AChE), an enzyme involved in the transmission of nerve impulses from one nerve cell to another. a.) This causes a “jam” in the transmission system, resulting in restlessness, depression, seizures, and loss of consciousness. ii. More severe cases can cause tremors, seizures, coma, convulsions, paralysis, cancers of the thyroid, breasts, ovaries, esophagus, kidneys and colon, leukemia, and even death. iii. A 2014 study conducted at the University of California, showed that pregnant women living within a few miles of farms where pesticides like Naled were sprayed had a sixty percent (60%) increased risk of their child developing autism spectrum disorders or experiencing developmental delays. iv. Research provides strong evidence to support an environmental explanation for the large increases being observed nationally in children with attention deficit disorders (A.D.D.), learning disabilities and other behavior disorders such as hyperactivity, aggressive disorders and emotional handicaps (EH).
  • 9. This information is the Proprietary, Confidential and Valuable Intellectual Property (IP) of Global Aquatic BioSystems, Inc. 5 a.) The percentage of Florida students diagnosed with learning disabilities has risen from 0.50% in 1971 to over 6% by 1998. b.) Florida’s Governor Scott, speaking to Florida’s Summer 2016 Zika virus outbreak, announced that mosquito control measures, such as increased spraying of pesticides, are being stepped up in Miami’s newly announced transmission zone. v. Environmental and chemical exposure factors can cause damage to the delicate brain growth processes in the unborn child during pregnancy, thereby demonstrating potential to cause Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder, Hyperactivity and other child behavior anomalies. vi. Microcephaly is a congenital defect of cranium and brain size which results in profound brain anomalies in newborns which usually result in the death of the infant. vii. As of May, 2016, medical researchers conclude that a causal relationship exists between prenatal Zika Virus infection and microcephaly and other serious brain anomalies. viii. Other research is investigating the possibility that the microcephaly cases are the results of the significantly high rates of Naled/trichlorfon -based insecticides which had been applied in the affected communities in the prior months. 1.6.4 Naled also causes many additional problems; it not only negatively affects human health, but it's also highly toxic for fish, birds, and beneficial insects, especially bees. 1.7 DEET Topical Mosquito Repellant 1.7.1 Chemically, DEET is "N,N-Diethyl-3-methylbenzamide" i. When DEET is combined with carbamate class pesticide chemicals, which are found everywhere in the food supply, the result is a "hyper toxic" brain damaging chemical cocktail that radically damages brain function. ii. One of the chemical classes is similar to VX Nerve Gas chemical weapons that kill mammals within seconds. iii. Similar to Naled, this chemical cocktail functions as an "acetylcholinesterase inhibitor," meaning it "paralyzes" brain cells after causing them to be hyper stimulated. a.) The result is cognitive confusion, fear, memory loss and other symptoms that curiously resemble the brain damage we're all told is caused by Zika virus. iv. Blocking AChE causes "disrupted neurotransmission" and other damaging effects to brain cells: a.) "The enzyme inactivation, induced by various inhibitors, leads to acetylcholine accumulation, hyperstimulation of nicotinic and muscarinic receptors, and disrupted neurotransmission." v. AChE inhibitors work similarly to carbamate and organophosphate pesticides -- two classes of chemicals routinely sprayed all over the national food supply -- meaning that people who slather their skin with DEET are poisoning themselves with brain-disrupting pesticide chemicals.
  • 10. This information is the Proprietary, Confidential and Valuable Intellectual Property (IP) of Global Aquatic BioSystems, Inc. 6 a. "In medicine and agriculture, the word 'organophosphates' refers to a group of insecticides and nerve agents that inhibit AChE." b. These organophosphates "exert their main toxicological effects through non-reversible phosphorylation of esterases in the central nervous system." c. "The acute toxic effects are related to irreversible inactivation of AChE." d. In other words, some classes of AChE inhibitors can cause irreversible damage to the central nervous system. 1.7.2 DEET "toxicity is primarily neurologic (encephalopathy, seizures, movement disorders, coma) and may occur via oral or dermal exposure, most commonly in children." i. "dermal exposure" (i.e. putting it on your skin) and appears "most commonly in children" and can result in "seizures" and "encephalopathy" in those children. ii. Symptoms of DEET Exposure: a. Eye and mucous membrane irritation. b. Ingestion can cause CNS disturbances. c. Desquamation about the nose, dryness of face, a slight tingling sensation. d. Toxicity is primarily neurologic (encephalopathy, seizures, movement disorders, coma) and may occur via oral or dermal exposure, most commonly in children. e. Bradycardia is rare but has been reported after dermal exposure to DEET. f. Hypotension has been reported after large ingestions. g. Eye contact may result in a smarting sensation. A burning sensation of the lips, tongue and mouth may be noted. h. Confusion, ataxia, hypertonicity, and clonic jerking progressing to coma and seizures may occur after acute oral or chronic dermal exposure. i. Abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. 1.8 Direct Costs of Mosquito-transmitted Diseases i. Annual Livestock Losses (USA) $ 61 M/Year ii.

(AgOil). 1.9.2 The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has stated that “adulticiding, application of chemicals to kill adult mosquitoes by ground or aerial applications, is usually the least efficient mosquito control technique.” i. Currently, the primary means of efficiently achieving mosquito vector control is the elimination of its’ aquatic breeding habitat. 1.9.3 Global Aquatic Biosystems’ herein presented mosquito vector control program assumes a new paradigm in long term mosquito control and abatement using all natural methods to: i. reduce the illness, death and devastation to humans, livestock and the economic costs caused from mosquito disease vectors; ii. reduce the use of hazardous chemicals and their harmful and costly side effects on humans, livestock, soil, water and air quality, food production, and supply; iii. create a new industry and jobs that provide a safe environment for the workers and public. iv. reduce future mosquito vector disease outbreak incidents and the associated mosquito control and emergency funding needs; and v. utilize natural biological agents to which mosquitos are unable to develop immunities; a. mosquitos have developed immunities to every chemical insecticide control agent previously and currently in use.
  • 12. This information is the Proprietary, Confidential and Valuable Intellectual Property (IP) of Global Aquatic BioSystems, Inc. 8 1.9.4 Global Aquatic Biosystems’ program achieves mosquito vector control while reducing and potentially eliminating the toxic and extremely dangerous chlorinated hydrocarbon and organophosphate powerful neurotoxin insecticides and larvicides currently in use known to be associated with increased risk of human cancers, autism and birth defects. i. This program is a sustainable and cost-effective solution that primarily produces indigenous native invertebrate and finfish aquatic predator species for very high in-situ mosquito larvae consumption rates. ii. This program produces and distributes predator zooplankton and finfish to candidate mosquito breeding water bodies. a. Robust breeding populations of indigenous predator copepod and finfish are established and maintained with these beneficial aquatic predators regularly replenished on an as-needed programmed basis by this vector control program. b. These indigenous species are a part of the natural aquatic food chain and contribute to improved regional sport fishing attributes as they are in turn consumed by larger predator species. c. These aquatic predators are also provided to government agencies and individuals for their application to candidate sites. iii. These recommended program elements are known to be efficient and effective measures for killing the mosquito in its aquatic habitat. iv. This program fosters dramatically improved Child Welfare benefits. v. This program fosters dramatically improved Public Health benefits vi. This program fosters lower direct and indirect parasitic Healthcare current and future years’ costs. vii. These programs are far more cost-effective than the current programs that rely on chemical poisons and will not result in the mosquito’s development of immunity to the control agents a. Costs are associated with the construction and operation of the aquatic predator production labs and lab and logistics staffs that requires funding, which is not required when only buying insecticides. b. Ongoing predatory zooplankton and finfish Production and O&M costs produce these mosquito vector control agents at sustainably low “out the door” costs while eliminating all of the collateral human, livestock and ecological damage/destruction. c. This proposed program’s Net Effective Costs are dramatically more factorable than the current costs of continuing application of poisonous insecticides when human morbidity and mortality, ecological consequences and loss of business and tax revenue externalities are appropriately accounted for. d. Additionally, this program fosters employment and educational benefits and creates a legacy appropriate environmental platform. 1.9.5 Leveraging “Sustainable” environmental management tactics that are proving very successful:
  • 13. This information is the Proprietary, Confidential and Valuable Intellectual Property (IP) of Global Aquatic BioSystems, Inc. 9 i. Draining ditches and removing weeds to eliminate sites for mosquitoes to breed – traditional practices largely abandoned with the advent of DDT – helped cut malaria cases by more than half in Mexico and Central America in recent years. ii. Some Mexican states control mosquitoes that breed in algae-covered ponds by skimming the water surface once a week. iii. Other places, including many parts of the U.S. and Europe, treat breeding sites with biological agents that kill insect larvae. iv. Demonstration Programs conducted in Florida and The Republic of Vietnam confirmed that zooplankton predators, copepods, were extremely efficient mosquito vector control agents, achieving 90-to-99% reduction of mosquito populations and reduction of disease. 1.9.6 Each Global Aquatic BioSystems’ standard production lab will produce at least 220 Billion copepods per year at a projected cost of $12.22/Million which can potentially consume more than 662.6 Trillion mosquito larvae (5 Yr. average, 4 recharge cycles/Yr. 33% survival rate and 20 larvae/copepod/Day). i. As many as 21 Million mosquitofish will be produced at a per-unit cost of $ 0.02; ii. Each Global Aquatic BioSystems standard production lab will produce an annual mosquito vector abatement capability in excess of 1,000 Trillion larvae/Year. 2.0 MOSQUITO LIFE CYCLE (8.) (9.) 2.1 All mosquito species go through four distinct stages during their life cycle. a) egg - hatches when exposed to water; b) larva - (plural: larvae) "wriggler" lives in water; molts several times; most species surface to breathe air; c) pupa - (plural: pupae) "tumbler" does not feed; stage just before emerging as adult’ d) adult - flies short time after emerging and after its body parts have hardened. 2.2 The first three stages occur in water, but the adult is an active flying insect. 2.2.1 Only the female mosquito feeds on the blood of humans or other animals. a) After she obtains a blood meal, the female mosquito lays the eggs directly on or near water, soil and at the base of some plants in places that may fill with water. The eggs can survive dry conditions for a few months. b) The eggs hatch in water and a mosquito larva or "wriggler" emerges. The length of time to hatch depends on water temperature, food and type of mosquito. c) The larva lives in the water, feeds and develops into the third stage of the life cycle called, a pupa or "tumbler." The pupa also lives in the water but no longer feeds. d) Finally, the mosquito emerges from the pupal case after two days to a week in the pupal stage. e) The life cycle typically takes up two weeks, but depending on conditions, it can range from 4 days to as long as a month. 2.3 The adult mosquito emerges onto the water's surface and flies away, completing its lifecycle.

(10.) 3.1 Mosquitoes are the source of more human suffering, morbidity and mortality than from any other single source - over one million people worldwide die from mosquito- borne diseases annually, with associated Public Health and GDP economic consequences. 3.1.1 Mosquitoes not only carry diseases that afflict human populations, they also infect dog and horse populations with diseases and parasites. 3.2 Malaria 3.2.1 The malaria parasite (plasmodium) is transmitted by female Anopheles mosquitoes. In North America Anopheles quadrimaculatus and Anopheles freeborni are the primary vector of the Plasmodium vivax (the malaria protozoa). 3.2.2 Malaria is an ancient disease which, with Yellow Fever, has killed more humans than all of History’s wars, Plagues and pestilence combined. Researchers report that, worldwide, more than one million deaths and 300 - 500 million malaria cases are still reported annually; these statistics indicate that malaria kills one child every 40 seconds. 3.2.3 In the United States mosquito borne diseases affected colonization patterns, economic and political development along the Atlantic and Gulf littorals and wasn't effectively controlled until the 1940s. 3.2.4 Scotland’s Caledonia colony in Panama’s Gulf of Darian collapsed in March 1700 due to mosquito-borne epidemics, contributing to Scotland’s economic devastation and continued political and economic subjugation by England for the next 300 additional years. 3.2.5 Approximately 40% of the world's population is susceptible to malaria, mostly in tropical and sub-tropical regions.

Currently, the primary means of controlling both species is to eliminate their breeding habitat. 3.5 Dog Heartworm 3.5.1 Dog heartworm, Dirofilaria immitis, can be a life-threatening disease for canines. The disease is caused by a roundworm through the bite of a mosquito carrying the larvae of the worm. 3.5.2 The disease is dependent on both the mammal and the mosquito to fulfill its life cycle. The young worms (microfilaria) circulate in the blood stream of the dog. 3.5.3 These worms must infect a mosquito in order to complete their lifecycle; mosquitoes become infected when they blood feed on the sick dog. 3.6 Dengue 3.6.1 Dengue is a serious arboviral disease of the Americas, Asia and Africa spread by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. 3.6.2 While dengue has a low mortality, its victims experience very painful symptoms and has become more serious, both in frequency and mortality, in recent years. 3.6.3 These mosquitoes are not well controlled by standard insecticide spraying techniques. 3.7 West Nile virus (WNV) 3.7.1 West Nile Virus (WNV) emerged in Uganda, Africa, in 1937, then migrated to the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. 3.7.2 West Nile Virus is a Flavivirus with more than 70 currently identified associated viruses; it is cycled between birds and mosquitoes and transmitted to mammals, including horses and man by infected mosquitoes, the Culex pipiens group is the most common mosquito species associated with transmission. 3.7.3 There is now a vaccine for horses. 3.7.4 There are varying degrees of severity of the WNV illness in humans: a) West Nile Fever might be the least severe in "flu"- like symptoms lasting a few days or weeks; b) The other types are grouped as "neuroinvasive disease" affecting the nervous system; c) West Nile encephalitis which affects the brain; and d) West Nile meningitis (meningoencephalitis), which is an inflammation of the brain and the membrane surrounding it. 3.7.5 WNV first appeared in North America in 1999 in New York State. 3.7.6 As of 2014, there have been 36,437 cases of WNV reported to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 15,774 have resulted in meningitis/encephalitis and 1538 were fatal. 3.7.7 The CDC estimates that there have been at least 1.5 million infections (82% are asymptomatic) and over 350,000 cases of WNV, but the disease is grossly under reported due to its similarity to other viral infections.

(15.) (16.) (17.) 3.9.1 Occasionally, paralysis and death has been linked to Zika infection due to Guillain- Barré syndrome, an autoimmune condition which causes nerve cell damage. 3.9.2 The Zika virus has spread rapidly in the Americas since being identified in Brazil in 2015. a) As of May, 2016, medical researchers conclude that a causal relationship exists between prenatal Zika Virus infection and microcephaly and other serious brain anomalies. b) Microcephaly is a congenital defect of cranium and brain size which results in profound brain anomalies in newborns which usually result in the death of the infant. 3.9.3 A group of South American doctors are now saying the brain deformations the world is witnessing are caused by the mass fumigation of low-income Brazilian people with chemical larvicides, not by mosquitoes carrying the Zika virus. 3.9.4 The doctors at Red Universitaria de Ambiente y Salud have published: a) A dramatic increase of congenital malformations, especially microcephaly in newborns, was detected and quickly linked to the Zika virus by the Brazilian Ministry of Health. b) However, they fail to recognize that in the area where most of the sick persons live, a chemical larvicide producing malformations in mosquitoes has been applied for 18 months, and that this poison (pyroproxyfen) is applied by the State on drinking water used by the affected population. 3.9.5 As of 28 April 2016, 426 reported cases of Zika virus in the United States due to travel to endemic areas.

This information is the Proprietary, Confidential and Valuable Intellectual Property (IP) of Global Aquatic BioSystems, Inc. 14 a) Local transmission within the continental United States has, as yet, 28 April 2016, not been reported. b) Of these 426 cases, thirty-two were pregnant women and seven were sexually transmitted. c) N0te: as of 02 August, 2016, 14 cases of Zika Virus have been reported having been contracted in the Miami Florida area, and several businesses have temporally closed due to the Zika threat. (18.) 3.9.6 Dr. Anne Schuchat from the CDC said the Zika virus is more of a threat than previously thought a) “Most of what we’ve learned is not reassuring. b) Everything we look at with this virus seems to be a bit scarier than we initially thought.” 3.9.7 Dr. Anthony Fauci from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease said: a) “This is a very unusual virus that we can’t pretend to know everything about. b) I’m not an alarmist… but the more we learn about the neurological aspects, the more we look around and say this is very serious.” 4.0 BREVARD MOSQUITO CONTROL PESTICIDES ENVIRONMENTAL & HEALTH EFFECTS RESEARCH (19.) (20.) 4.1 Mosquito Pesticide Effects Research at the University of Florida 4.1.1 The following research was located from the University of Florida Medical Library regarding environmental and public health effects found to occur from exposure to the mosquito control pesticides - dibrom (naled) - permethrin - and other chemical ingredients found in dibrom, which include - dichlorvos and trichlorfon. 4.1.2 Information was compiled by Richard W. Pressinger, M.Ed. and Wayne Sinclair, M.D. 4.2 Pesticides are far more dangerous than believed; alternative replacement critical 4.2.1 The evidence clearly shows these chemicals are far more harmful than previously believed and emphasizes the critical importance for implementing immediate alternatives. 4.3 Background on Brevard's Mosquito Pesticides 4.3.1 Brevard County Mosquito Control is currently using the pesticide "permethrin" in its "mosquito truck" spray program along with the use of the pesticide "dibrom" (naled) in its aerial spray program. 4.3.2 The potential health and environmental effects outlined below strongly support the importance of finding alternatives to these pesticides as soon as possible. a) Chromosome/Genetic Damage Evident in Immune System Cells from Permethrin. b) Helicopter Application Pesticide Dibrom Contains Carcinogenic Chemistry:

"Dichlorvos caused or was associated with neoplastic responses in rats (pancreas, hematopoietic system, and possibly the mammary gland) and in mice (forestomach)." b. As thousands of gallons of this chemical have been sprayed over populated areas in the Brevard community and into the Indian River - the potential for irreversible damage to public health, wildlife and marine life must be considered in light of the above research. c. Elevated Brain Damage Found from Mosquito Control Pesticide i. CHEM-TOX COMMENT: How many pregnant women in Brevard County may have been at the "critical period" for their child's neurological development will not be known. ii. However, the fact that this study shows that neurological damage can easily occur in animals (who are often less sensitive than humans to harmful neurological effects) is enough to warrant serious re-evaluation regarding the use of this toxic chemical over populated areas. c) Liver Damage is Linked to Mosquito Pesticide Ingredients Trichlorfon and Dichlorvos d) Marine Life Damaged by Pesticide Dibrom i. Florida Turtles Suffer Unusually High Cancer Rate ii. Central Florida River systems are currently running out of time because of the damaging impact of pesticides and chemicals from lawn spray applications, commercial citrus grove run-off and large scale aerial and truck applications of mosquito control pesticides. iii. Fish and other aquatic organisms (especially shrimp) have been reported as experiencing mutations in development and alterations in important behaviors critical to the survival of the organism from very low levels of pesticide run-off exposure. e) Child Leukemia & Aplastic Anemia after DDVP Exposure f) Pesticide Exposure Can Increase Infections in Humans g) Don't Be Misled By "Safety" Claims i. Most people erroneously judge the danger of chemicals based on the word "toxic." ii. This occurs because the term "toxic" is loosely referred to as - the amount of a chemical needed to kill an animal or person. iii. Chemical Industry Spokesmen conveniently forget to mention that there are hundreds of other health effects from chemicals besides their overt toxicity (death). iv. In fact, if you think about it, death is really the last thing we're concerned about since exposure to levels much lower than those considered "toxic" are being shown to affect the immune and nervous system in many subtle ways.

(24.) (25.) (26.) 4.4.1 The Germans invented nerve agents during World War II 4.4.2 Naled is a nerve agent a) As an organophosphate insecticide, naled works by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase (AChE) which is an important enzyme that is involved in the transmission of nerve impulses through nervous tissue. b) Without this enzyme, the transmissions between nerves become jammed which ultimately leads to paralysis and death. c) Insects such as honey bees are highly susceptible to naled’s effects and the alfalfa leaf cutting bees and alkali bees are at an even greater risk. d) Parasitoid wasps that lay their eggs in other juvenile insects are also at risk from this pesticide. e) Essentially, naled limits the diversity of the insect population in the area that it is sprayed. Insects are not all that naled effects, however. f) Fish such as lake trout, rainbow trout, cutthroat trout and catfish find naled to be highly toxic. g) Naled can be moderately to highly toxic to migratory water fowl, the most sensitive bird being the Canada goose. h) Naled has also been proven to effect reproduction in Mallard ducks. i After exposed to the insecticide, these ducks laid fewer eggs and consequently hatched fewer ducklings than unexposed ducks. 4.4.3 Must bear the signal words "Danger-Poison" 4.4.4 Naled is the most toxic of the mosquito adulticides and is the only mosquito adulticide in class 1, the highest toxicity, with the signal word "Danger". 4.4.5 Naled is the only one that states in its label: inhaling can be FATAL. 4.4.6 Once in the bloodstream, Naled may cross the placenta. 4.4.7 Naled is corrosive to the skin and eyes and may cause permanent damage. a) "Naled applications were successful in achieving short-term reductions in mosquito abundance. b) However, despite repetitive applications, populations of the primary vector of EEE virus, Cs. melanura, have increased 15-fold at Cicero Swamp." 4.4.8 An 11 year research project from the New York State Department of Health provides the strongest evidence to date linking pesticide applications with INCREASING THE INCIDENCE OF ENCEPHALITIS CARRYING MOSQUITOES - BY FIFTEEN FOLD!

(41.) (42.) 5.1. Our labs produce Algae, Zooplankton – Rotifers, Copepods - and Finfish. 5.1.1 The Copepods and Finfish are distributed to at-risk water bodies where these predatory species voraciously feed on the aquatic forms of the mosquitoes. 5.1.2 When the mosquito larvae have been consumed in the water source, the introduced Copepods and Finfish, under proper environmental conditions, typically establish maintenance populations. Fig 2. Diversified Algae Production (27.) 5.2 Biological Mosquito Control Program Strategy - Rotifers and Copepods a) Rotifers are very small plant eating aquatic organisms; Copepods are tiny crustaceans, which are known voracious eaters of mosquito larvae. b) Rotifers are similar to their larger marine cousins, Krill, as both are aquatic herbivores. c) Integral to the food chain, krill are the primary food source for many marine mammals and fish and are essentially the fuel that runs the engine of the Earth’s marine ecosystems. d) The enterprise produces several species of algae to yield a well-balanced, nutritious diet which is fed to Rotifers, so that the Rotifers are healthy and reproduce vigorously. e) In turn, Rotifers are fed to Copepods, which must eat live food to grow well and reproduce.

This information is the Proprietary, Confidential and Valuable Intellectual Property (IP) of Global Aquatic BioSystems, Inc. 18 f) The Copepods are packaged for transport at Global Aquatic BioSciences’ labs and g) Copepods are indigenous virtually everywhere, and are not an alien contaminant species. h) Copepods perform their mosquito larvae predation job in any fresh water body - lake, pond, stream, gully, cistern or abandoned tire. i) When there's no remaining mosquito larvae left to eat, they will eat each other as well as puddle, or even in tires with standing water; Copepods represent a natural food source for native fish and amphibians. j) This strategy is environmentally friendly--a natural biological alternative to spraying poisons. Fig 3. Microalgae and Zooplankton Production (27.) 5.3 Biological Mosquito Control Program Strategy - Rotifers (27.) (28.) 5.3.1 Rotifers are microscopic and near-microscopic plant-eating aquatic animals, typically 200 to 500 micrometers length; they are an important part of the world’s aquatic zooplankton and are a significant food source for other aquatic prey species, including copepods, shrimp and crabs. 5.3.2 Rotifers are omnivorous herbivores found primarily in freshwater environments worldwide, which feed on dead or decomposing organic materials in soil and unicellular algae and other phytoplankton. 5.3.3 Rotifers are also present in moist soil, where they inhabit the thin films of water that are formed around soil particles as well as on mosses and lichens growing on rocks and tree trunks, in leaf litter, and on mushrooms growing near dead trees. 5.4 Biological Mosquito Control Program Strategy - Copopods (27.)

This information is the Proprietary, Confidential and Valuable Intellectual Property (IP) of Global Aquatic BioSystems, Inc. 19 5.4.2 International research teams working with copepods and mosquito larvae have shown: a) Each copepod of the most effective species can kill more than 40 Aedes larvae/day. b) The most effective copepod species maintain large populations in a container habitat for as long as there is water. i) Copepods have eliminated Aedes production from water storage tanks and other container breeding habitats for extended periods. ii) Use of copepods in Aedes container habitats have been responsible for virtually all published instances of mosquito eradication in recent years. iii) They typically reduce Aedes production by 99-100%. iv) They can achieve local eradication of container-breeding Aedes mosquitoes if present in a sufficiently high percentage of breeding sites. v) Field surveys in Anopheles, floodwater Aedes, and Culex breeding habitats have shown that natural copepod populations can substantially reduce, or even eliminate, mosquito production. c) Researchers have demonstrated that the timely introduction of the appropriate copepod species to the appropriate habitat can eliminate Anopheles or floodwater Aedes larvae in temporary pools, marshes and rice paddies. vi) Typically, copepods cannot eliminate Culex production by themselves, but can augment and enhance other control measures. viii) The most significant operational use of copepods to date was in Vietnam (1998-2010) achieving eradication of Ae. aegypti in hundreds of villages. 5.4.3 The University of Florida – IFAS tested the cyclopoid copepod Macrocyclops albidus (Jurine) as a potential biological control agent of mosquitoes in laboratory microcosms, in controlled field conditions, and in a 22-mo field experiment using discarded tires. 5.4.4 The predator was highly efficient in controlling mosquitoes in all three settings, reaching close to 90% reduction in larval survival under field conditions and exceeding the recommended predation rates for effective mosquito control in laboratory experiments. 5.4.5 The predator was most effective on 1-4-d-old larvae. Alternate food and habitat structure significantly influenced the predation rates on mosquito larvae. Once established, the copepod was able to maintain reproducing populations in the field for the duration of the experiments. 5.4.6 This copepod species is a promising candidate for control of mosquito larvae because it is a widespread +-and highly effective predator that is capable of establishing and maintaining populations under a wide variety of field conditions. Additionally, M. albidus is relatively easy to culture, maintain, and deliver to target water bodies. 5.4.7 A notable success in the use of copepods for reduction of disease vectors is that of Vu Sinh Nam and co-workers, who report effective control of Aedes vectors of dengue in Vietnam with copepods of the genus Mesocyclops. 5.4.8 The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene’s 2012 Community – Based Control of Aedes aegypti by Using Mesocyclops in Southern Vietnam summarizes a Public Health program that operated from 1998 to 2010 which successfully utilized predacious copepods as a biological mosquito control agent.

The larvae eat almost any living thing smaller than themselves, typically bloodworms, other aquatic insect larvae and also small fish. c) Adult dragonflies do not bite or sting humans. 5.6.6 Endod, African soapberry (39.) a) Endod (Phytolacca dodecandra), known as the African soapberry plant, is a perennial; its berries have long been used as a laundry soap and shampoo. i. Endod is synonymous with 'soap' in many African countries. b) Aqueous compounds of the Endod are effective against immature mosquitoes and it can be suitable for controlling mosquitoes in small man made mosquito breeding sites; large-scale mosquito control measures will require the development of effective Endod production and processing methods. c) The University of Toledo (Toledo Ohio) has applied for a Patent on the use of Endod to control zebra mussels in power plant coolant piping systems, the application of which replaces toxic pollutants currently in use. d) Use of these plant extracts in mosquito breeding areas will help control and prevent mosquito-borne diseases in an environmentally responsible manner.
