Mosquito Alert vs MedusApp Usage & Stats
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 of five species of mosquitoes:
(1) the tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus)
(2) the yellow fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti)
(3) the Asian bush mosquito (Aedes japonicus)
(4) Aedes koreicus
(5) the common house mosquito (Culex pipiens)
-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 .

Collaborate with science and at the same time benefit citizens by sending your sightings. Medusapp will inform you as soon as you run the app if within a radius of 5 km. Around you there have been sightings or jellyfish-free beach reports in recent days.
Obtaining information about sightings and stings of jellyfish, is crucial for the various scientific research works and have a small tool, that anyone can have installed on their mobile phone and that simplifies the task of reporting where jellyfish or jellyfish are located its effects on people is just what was needed to provide data to science.
Just take the photo to the jellyfish with Medusapp, and when you send it you will also be sending GPS coordinates to make a real-time map of the places where these marine animals are sighted. You can also select the species or use the new function based on IA to try to recognice the species. Anyway, scientists will already be responsible for classifying it.
With this application you can also report other types of sightings of marine eventualities, as well as the effects of their bites.
In addition, it includes a guide of small aid in case of sting, and another of recognition of different species of jellyfish.
Scientific development and scientific-medical data management by Dr. Cesar Bordehore and Dr. Eva S. Fonfría. Multidisciplinary Institute for the Study of the Environment "Ramon Margalef", University of Alicante. Dra. Victoria del Pozo and Dra Mar Fernández Nieto. CIBER CIBERES Respiratory Diseases. Immunoallergy Laboratory, Dep. Of Immunology, Giménez Díaz Foundation Health Research Institute (IIS-FJD).
Developed by Ramón Palacios and Eduardo Blasco as a contribution to citizen science.
The information on jellyfish and first aid comes from the LIFE Cubomed project (www.cubomed.eu), of which Dr. Bordehore participates.
Photographs of jellyfish sightings will be made public through the map, while photographs of of bites will not be made public.
