Tiger mosquito detection for public health services and municipalities
Automatic detection and immediate alerting of tiger mosquitoes: monitor several locations without physical checks.
Tiger mosquito detection matters to public health services and municipalities because it lets them find invasive alien mosquitoes early and prevent them from spreading. Early detection makes targeted control possible and limits the risk of disease transmission.
Why tiger mosquito detection
The Asian tiger mosquito is an invasive alien species that is spreading across Europe through transport and trade. The species can transmit diseases, which makes it a public health concern. For public health services and municipalities, early detection is crucial: the sooner a newly established population is spotted, the more effective and less costly control will be.
Targeted monitoring
Faunabit develops equipment for the targeted monitoring and detection of insects in the field. For the tiger mosquito and other invasive mosquitoes, this means you can take targeted measurements at high-risk sites — such as tire storage sites, import companies and transport hubs — instead of relying on occasional reports.
From signal to action
Reliable, timely detection gives your public health service or municipality the evidence it needs to act quickly: source reduction, communication with residents and targeted deployment of resources. Because the measurements are standardized, sites and periods can be compared easily and you can track the effectiveness of your measures.
