Mosquito Alert

CREAF

About this app

Join the world's largest mosquito surveillance network. Contribute to the study and monitoring of invasive mosquitoes and mosquitoes of epidemiological interest with the Mosquito Alert app. With it you will be able to report mosquito observations, mosquito breeding sites, and keep a record of mosquito bites.

By sharing your observations, you will be providing information that scientists can use in their research to better understand the ecology of mosquitoes, disease transmission, and provide data to improve their management.

Mosquito Alert is a citizen science project coordinated by several public research centers, CEAB-CSIC, UPF and CREAF, whose objective is to study, monitor and fight against the spread of disease-carrying mosquitoes.

What can you do with the app?

-Notify the presence mosquitoes
-Identify their breeding places in your area
-Notify when you receive a bite
-Validate the photos of other participants

A community of more than 50 international expert entomologists will validate the photos you send to the platform, thus being able to learn to identify the mosquito species of health interest. All observations are made public on the Mosquito Alert map website, where they can be viewed and downloaded, as well as exploring the models developed from the contributions of the participants.

Your contributions are very useful for science!

The Mosquito Alert app is available in more than 17 European languages: Spanish, Catalan, English, Albanian, German, Bulgarian, Croatian, Dutch, French, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Luxembourgish, Macedonian, Portuguese, Romanian, Serbian, Slovenian, Turkish .

Ratings and reviews

I have already sent many mosquito photos and it works correctly in the app. However, if I try to send a photo of breeding sites, at the end it does not allow me to continue. No error message appears; it simply does not progress any further after adding the location.

the in app camera is not good enough to take photos where one can identify the mosquito and since the latest update I can't upload already existing photos - so basically I can't use this app anymore. edit: thank you for the update!

Great idea in theory. Tried to report a mosquito (the main function of the app) and it wouldn't let me select a location because it wasn't even showing the map. Also couldn't find anywhere to report this as a glitch in the app. I heard about this 5 years ago and was told the app didn't work well, but I hoped it would be better by now, guess I know why no one uses it- because it doesn't work properly enough to function.
