Provide this for following activities: WNV vectors: Prevention of establishment after introduction of exotic mosquito species; Assessment of level, place and/or time of transmission risk; Assessment of nuisance levels; Investigation of (ongoing) outbreaks (ad hoc, event based); Assessment of control efficacy; Aedes invasive mosquitoes: Prevention of establishment after introduction of exotic mosquito species; Assessment of level, place and/or time of transmission risk; Assessment of nuisance levels; Investigation of (ongoing) outbreaks (ad hoc, event based); Assessment of control efficacy
  5. Active; 2. Passive; 3. Active and passive; None, Don't know/NA
  6. 3.14. Where is the mosquito surveillance activity implemented? Specify for each mosquito group and activity. Provide this for following activities: WNV vectors: Prevention of establishment after introduction of exotic mosquito species; Assessment of level, place and/or time of transmission risk; Assessment of nuisance levels; Investigation of (ongoing) outbreaks (ad hoc, event based); Assessment of control efficacy; Aedes invasive mosquitoes: Prevention of establishment after introduction of exotic mosquito species; Assessment of level, place and/or time of transmission risk; Assessment of nuisance levels; Investigation of (ongoing) outbreaks (ad hoc, event based); Assessment of control efficacy
  7. Country wide; 2. Certain parts of the country; Don't know/NA
  8. 3.15. If mosquito surveillance is implemented in certain parts of the country, please specify why, for each activity: Prevention of establishment after introduction of exotic mosquito species; Assessment of level, place and/or time of transmission risk; Assessment of nuisance levels; Investigation of (ongoing) outbreaks (ad hoc, event based); Assessment of control efficacy; Mosquito vectors of WNV; Aedes Invasive mosquitoes
  9. 3.16. How do you classify the public funding for ACTIVE mosquito surveillance activities in your country? Per indicator and mosquito group. WNV vectors: Prevention of establishment after introduction of exotic mosquito species; Assessment of level, place and/or time of transmission risk; Assessment of nuisance levels; Investigation of (ongoing) outbreaks (ad hoc, event based); Assessment of control efficacy; Aedes invasive mosquitoes: Prevention of establishment after introduction of exotic mosquito species; Assessment of level, place and/or time of transmission risk; Assessment of nuisance levels; Investigation of (ongoing) outbreaks (ad hoc, event based); Assessment of control efficacy.
  10. ACTIVE surveillance: 1. Limited in time (e.g. project based); 2. Embedded in a long-term (>3 years) strategy of disease risk assessment and control; 3. Don't know/NA
  11. PASSIVE surveillance: 1. Limited in time (e.g. project based); 2. Embedded in a long-term (>3 years) strategy of disease risk assessment and control; 3. Don't know/NA
  12. 3.17. Please specify for each surveillance indicator (see 2.13), whether reporting to the national level is voluntary or compulsory. WNV vectors: Prevention of establishment after introduction of exotic mosquito species; Assessment of level, place and/or time of transmission risk; Assessment of nuisance levels; Investigation of (ongoing) outbreaks (ad hoc, event based); Assessment of control efficacy; Aedes invasive mosquitoes: Prevention of establishment after introduction of exotic mosquito species; Assessment of level, place and/or time of transmission risk; Assessment of nuisance levels; Investigation of (ongoing) outbreaks (ad hoc, event based); Assessment of control efficacy
  13. Voluntary; 2. Compulsory 3. Don't know/NA
  14. 3.18. Please rate the following needs for mosquito surveillance in your country (on a Likert scale) in terms of importance. Resources: Need for a better evidence how mosquito surveillance has a public-health benefit; Need for more funding (for staff, expendables); Need for more training of human resources (irrespective of funding for mosquito surveillance being available, there is not enough knowledge and capacity); Responsibilities: Need for a dedicated national agency for mosquito surveillance; Need for more clarity about roles and responsibilities (which authority is responsible for what); Coordination: Need for more international coordination between countries; Need for more national coordination between sub-national actors within the same sector; Need for development of multisectoral collaboration; Need for more collaboration between academic institutes and health institutes; Need for more communication between surveillance and control; Operational: Need for a long-term mosquito surveillance plan; Need for citizen science adapted to local contexts; Need for identification of minimum essential surveillance information; Need for improved surveillance equipment and tools, e.g. traps, mosquito apps, species identification/diagnostic solutions; Need for a better understanding how mosquito surveillance can inform early warning for mosquito-borne diseases outbreaks
  15. Not important; 2. Not very important; 3. Neither important or unimportant; Quite important; Very important
  16. 3.19. Please identify any additional needs regarding mosquito surveillance in your country, or put "none" or "unknown"
