Abstract

A computerized information retrieval system was designed for Marion County (Indianapolis), IN. Working on a data base of 4 years of site inspection records, the Mosquito Information Retrieval System identifies those sites which have a historical record of producing mosquitoes under conditions similar to the present. The system is designed to run on an interactive timesharing computer system available through most state universities or from commercial computer firms.
