News from the field - mosquito trapping has started in June in South of France! Marie-Marie Olive MIVEGEC We use BG sentinel and resting traps to identify the distribution of different mosquitoes in the field locations of Camargue, France. #DiMoC #BiodivERsA3

News from Germany @BNITM_de Although the summer temperatures are moderate, dead birds submitted by citizens indicate the circulation of Usutu virus and West Nile virus also in 2021! #DiMoC BiodivERsA3

Preparing the cages to make it as cosy as possible for our bush mosquito Polo GGB Institute of Tropical Medicine Antwerp Via Infravec2, we can collaborate with PoloGGB and use their CL2 large cages to test the swarming behaviour of Aedes japonicus. #DiMoC #BiodivERsA3

#DiMoC sees strengthening communication about and raising awareness of mosquito-borne diseases as important missions! Hence, we are happy that Adwine Vanslembrouck from our project team is currently taking part at the 3rd AIM-COST Annual Conference in Istanbul. aedescost.eu/index.php/node

Impressions of Adwine Vanslembrouck from the 3rd AIM-COST conference live in Istanbul last week. It was a great opportunity to meet scientists from all over the world and share the latest mosquito related research. Institute of Tropical Medicine Antwerp #DiMoC #BiodivERsA3

Collecting bird abundance data to further understand the connection between host-diversity and the circulation of Usutu virus or West Nile virus in Germany. Now in autumn the host diversity decreases as many birds migrate to the South. @BNITM_de BiodivERsA3 #birds #diversity

Informing stakeholders and scientists about our research via the #Aedesalbopictus #vectorcontrol symposium organized Institute of Tropical Medicine Antwerp. Meanwhile preparing our #DIMOC collaboration with @BNITM_de and upcoming training in Vector Competence via the aedescost STSM grant. BiodivERsA3

Very happy to present our research on Dytiscidae as possible biological control for #Aedesalbopictus during the #icais conference on aquatic invasive species in Oostende!

The training in biosafety level 3 insectary recently started for #DIMOC partners at @BNITM_de. Ready to take off for further vector competence studies of #Aedesalbopictus and Culex pipiens funded by BiodivERsA3.

Insects account for an estimated 75% of animal life on Earth and are an invaluable and integral part of all life on our planet. 🐝🐛🦋🐞🐜🪰🪲🪳🦟🦗🕷️ Let’s appreciate and protect insects #ForNature and for ourselves.

Research published in Frontiers - Environmental Science: High wind speed prevents the establishment of the disease vector mosquito #Aedesalbopictus in its climatic niche in Europe. Author team from @BayreuthBiogeo at Universität Bayreuth in #DiMoC Project BiodivERsA3: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Congratulation to our medical entomologist Egyptian focal point Abdallah Samy for this recognition!

The sustainable use of wild species is important to maintaining healthy populations and in turn also human health will be positively affected. Members of the #DiMoC Project funded by BiodivERsA3 participate in todays #IPBESstakeholder Day.

I had a wonderful time during my research stay @BNITM_de aedescost 🇩🇪 And learned so much about #VectorCompetence studies in the BSL3 🦟👩🏽‍🔬 Thank you very much @steph_jansen_ Anna Heitmann Jonas Schmidt-Chanasit @LuehkenEcology for welcoming me in your lab DiMoC Institute of Tropical Medicine Antwerp

Very happy to share our research on the phenotypic insecticide resistance status of the Culex pipiens complex: a European perspective Just published! DiMoC Institute of Tropical Medicine Antwerp parasitesandvectors.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Members of the #DiMoC project funded by Biodiversa+ (European Biodiversity Partnership) brought in the perspective of mosquito-borne diseases at the Symposium on "One Health: Why Biodiversity is important?" part of #sfe2gfoe2022 - Thank you Dr Forest EU for organizing this informative event.

We are very happy to announce that 15 participants and 14 lecturers from 7 countries are meeting @BNITM for the #DiMoC Biodiversa+ (European Biodiversity Partnership) Training workshop on mosquito identification, modelling species distribution, One Health concept in experimental setups and vector control.

Thanks for considering possible vector-borne disease risks in urban green spaces!
