#EMCA2024 This year an important and absolutely timely thematic will be elaborated interactively at the XIth EMCA Workshop entitled “Dialogue with wings: Communicating mosquito science effectively” (Switzerland 02-04/12/24) How can we communicate effectively with the public, operators, and stakeholders about Mosquito-borne diseases, nuisance, and mosquito control in our countries? You now have the chance to participate in the workshop about the fundamentals of communication, present your way of communicating about mosquitoes, interact with other members of the EMCA and representatives of different stakeholder groups, and learn from the experts! A road map for communication on mosquitoes will be produced after key questions on communication of each thematic will be discussed in extensive interactive sessions guided by experts. Save the date! Do not miss it! 1st announcement at the 1st comment!!

A lot goes into mosquito management! Effective mosquito control requires monitoring larvae and adult mosquitoes and testing for diseases and insecticide resistance.

Join PPAN for our May webinar, Do Mosquito Control Programs Make You Safer?, with expert speaker Rella Abernathy from the City of Boulder. Register here! https://lnkd.in/gtN5eWt9 As scientists raise the alarm about the precipitous decline of insects, the opposite trend is occurring with mosquitoes as populations are increasing despite aggressive control measures. During the past few years in Colorado, West Nile virus infection in mosquitoes has been rising, resulting in increasing deaths from West Nile virus that are reaching levels that we haven’t seen since the 2003 epidemic. The City of Boulder hasn’t had the high levels of West Nile virus infection in mosquitoes that surrounding areas are experiencing. Why is there a difference? This webinar will describe the City of Boulder’s approach for managing mosquitoes by managing ecosystems and share the scientific rationale for why this approach is important, not only to reduce disease risk to people, but to have a positive impact on wetland insects, birds, amphibians, and overall ecosystem health. #mosquitoes #mosquitocontrol #bouldercolorado #EcosystemHealth #webinar #beethechange

The raccoon raiding your trash can and the bats that triggered COVID are carriers of zoonotic diseases, i.e., infections that transmit from animals to humans. This route of transmission is a major pathway by which viruses and bacteria find their way into human hosts. We can’t let ourselves be sitting ducks for the next highly infectious zoonosis to come along, so monitoring, technological innovation, awareness, and policy shifts are essential. Learn more about zoonotic diseases and where they come from. #WorldZoonosesDay #ZoonoticDiseases #StoryMD #StoryMDHealth https://str.md/9YEr5p

The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) has warned of the northward spread of the Aedes albopictus mosquito into parts of Europe, whilst emphasising the importance of using insect repellent as a protective measure against mosquito bites. At Arctech Innovation, we perform high quality #efficacy #testing and clinical trials to assess the effectiveness of insect repellents against the Aedes albopictus mosquito, as well as other genera (e.g. Anopheles and Culex).   We design our protocols to adhere to #HSE (UK), #BPR (EU), #EPA (US), #WHO and other regulatory guidelines to support product registration and renewal with authorities. If you require efficacy testing of your insect repellent for product development or registration purposes, we have the expertise and facilities to help.

The culex mosquito is just one of the nearly 200 types of mosquitoes inhabiting the United States. This type of mosquito is often found in Florida and carries the potential to transmit diseases via bites on humans (or pets)!

Your average mosquito bite is only likely to land you with an annoying itchy bump, but in other parts of the world, it could result in any number of serious diseases. Malaria-ridden mosquitoes cause hundreds of millions of cases every year, mostly in tropical regions. In the US, we are not immune to mosquito-borne diseases, with West Nile virus being top of the list. It’s important to take proper precautions now that we’re coming into peak mosquito season — learn more. #MosquitoAwarenessWeek #MosquitoBorneDiseases #StoryMD #StoryMDHealth https://str.md/5PoZ0N

One reason that we manage invasive #aquaticplants is to reduce the likelihood of mosquito-borne disease. Invasive plants provide a habitat that is ideal for mosquitoes to breed, thrive, and avoid predation. https://lnkd.in/dN-By2B #MSAPMS #aquaticplants #invasiveplants #mosquitoes #mosquito #publichealth #aquaticplantmanagement #aquaticplantcontrol #aquaticweeds #aquaticIPM
