AIM COST Questionnaire on Guidelines for Aedes Mosquito Surveillance and Control

We have now received 115 answers.  Thank you very much to all who replied. A workshop was held in Brussels on the 1-2 April to discuss the way forward.  The minutes are linked below. Analysis has begun on the questionnaire We will post a summary of the preliminary findings in the near future. We plan to re-open the questionnaire  at some point in the future for additional responses from ECDC country focal points and from contacts suggeted by questionnaire respondents. 

A major objective of the AIMCOST project (www.aedescost.eu) is to  work out how best to rationalise and harmonise the existing  guidelines  that apply to  the monitoring, surveillance and control of Aedes invasive mosquitos.   At the moment  it is not clear which of the currently available national and  international  guidelines apply to a particular situation.

In order to do that we first need to find out what monitoring, surveillance and control is going on where,  who is  actually doing the work in the field, who is responsible for planning and funding , and which, if any, of the existing guidelines are being used, and by whom.  We also want to find out what the people involved think should to be done to improve things.

We think they best way to do this is to get the information we need directly from the people best qualified to judge: you the professionals who do the work.  To do this we have asked you to fill in a questionnaire.
