2021-11-10 eng FAVV - Exotic vector and pathogen surveillance programme in Belgium - ticks is a sampling event dataset published by the Institute of Tropical Medicine Antwerp. It is part of the early detection of vector and pathogens along high-risk introduction routes surveillance projects in Belgium, in which data are collected at defined locations using a standardized protocol. The data was collected in the Exotic vector and pathogen surveillance programme in Belgium, sponsored by the FAVV (Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain, FASFS). Here, it is published as a standardized Darwin Core Archive and includes for each sampling event an eventID, date, location and sampling protocol (in the event core), and for each occurrence an occurrenceID, the number of recorded individuals, status (present/absent), identification and scientific name (in the occurrence extension).

collection of data in the field by professionals Following the implementation of invasive mosquito surveillance in Belgium in 2012, to evaluate the guidelines of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC 2012, Deblauwe et al. 2014a), the surveillance continued in 2013 including that of biting midges and ticks, and their most important pathogens. In 2014 only invasive mosquitoes and exotic ticks (Dermacentor) were surveyed because of the necessity to intensify the surveillance measures for Ae. albopictus at two points of entry. Also in 2015 the focus was only on invasive mosquitoes and ticks (both Dermacentor and Ixodes) as Ae. albopictus has become a yearly reappearing threat in Belgium. However, by-catches of MMLP traps are already sorted for Culicoides and still available. Active sampling of the exotic tick D. reticulatus at one highly colonised site and at two sites where its presence was suspected. Active sampling of I. ricinus at a medium risk area. Screening of tick species for pathogens (Dermacentor: Theileria equi, Babesia canis, Babesia caballi and Ixodes: Borrelia burgdorferi s.l.) To collect the tick D. reticulatus three Nature Reserves were selected. The Nature Reserve ‘Westhoek’ in De Panne has a large population of this tick species. Two other sites (‘Goed te Parijs’ in Deinze and ‘De Zeven Dreven’ in De Pinte) were selected because of the movement in the end of 2014 of donkeys from de Panne to these sites and the consequent risk of importing D. reticulatus ticks. During the search for D. reticulatus ticks at the Nature Reserve ‘Westhoek’, I. ricinus ticks were collected as well to investigate the prevalence of B. burgdorferi s.l. The results of 2014, 2015 and 2016 are presented here and compared with those of 2013. all data is validated and controlled by experts FAVV - Exotic vector and pathogen surveillance programme in Belgium Isra Deblauwe 0000-0001-7268-8965 pointOfContact Several vector-borne diseases (e.g. theileriosis, babesiosis, bluetongue virus (BTV), Schmallenberg virus (SBV), West-Nile virus (WNV)) are emerging in Belgium or in other European countries and some are now endemic. The increase in international transport, the removal of quarantine measures within the EU zone and the growing tourism are responsible for the increasing risk of spread of pathogens and vectors. Climate change also exerts a significant influence on the survival and spread of arthropod vectors as well as on the vectorial capacity and competence of these exotic, but also of endemic arthropods. Strengthening surveillance of exotic vectors (mosquitoes, biting midges (Culicoides) and ticks) and their pathogens in areas at risk of importation or spread and risk of pathogen transmission is therefore required. For Belgium, the following exotic vectors or vector-borne pathogens pose a risk: the Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus), the Asian rock pool mosquito (Aedes japonicus japonicus), Aedes koreicus, the ornate dog tick Dermacentor reticulatus and, BTV, SBV, equine Babesiosis and Theileriosis.

In 2016 the focus was on Culicoides and invasive mosquitoes. As bluetongue (BTV8 since August 2015 and BTV4 since 2014) is emerging again in Europe, priority should be given to the monitoring of Culicoides. Furthermore, Ae. albopictus has become a yearly appearing threat in Belgium which also necessitated the surveillance of high-risk PoE of invasive mosquitoes in 2016.
