Biogents Mosquitaire traps recommended as most efficient for Dengue vector mosquitoes: Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus
Methods of collection of IMS (invasive mosquito species) adult or detection by egg collection and their efficacy according to mosquito species. SOURCE: ECDC Guidelines for the surveillance of invasive mosquitoes in Europe
The ECDC have released a Technical Report "Guidelines for the surveillance of invasive mosquitoes in Europe" which can be consulted below.
Once again, our selected Biogents Mosquitaire mosquito traps have been recognised as most efficient at capturing Dengue vector mosquitoes Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus after "human landing collection", a process which must be used only if there is no evident risk of transmission during the mosquito bite / blood meal - this is therefore not recommended in Madeira!

Aedes aegypti Monitoring Programme
The Aedes aegypti Monitoring Programme aims to monitor both mosquito population with Ovitraps (egg and larva) as well with Biogients Mosquitaire mosquito traps (adult mosquito population).
All partners participating in the monitoring programme will not only demonstrate that they are being proactive with regard to the Dengue mosquito vector, but also be better informed and better prepared to take further actions to reduce mosquito population and consequent reduction in the possibility of of being bitten as one of the strongest recommendations regarding Dengue virus remains "preventative measures from getting bitten".
For all those interested in participating in the monitoring programme, please use the following contact form.
