Descripción
The published dataset MEMO - Monitoring of Exotic MOsquitoes in Belgium is a sampling event dataset published by the Institute of Tropical Medicine in Antwerp (Belgium) (ITM). It is part of the early detection of exotic mosquito species (EMS) along high-risk introduction routes in Belgium, in which data are collected at defined locations (i.e. Points of Entry or PoE’s) using a standardised protocol. The MEMO dataset contains mosquito sampling counts performed between 2017 and 2020, and the MEMO+2020, an extension of the MEMO dataset, contains only Aedes albopictus mosquito trap counts performed in 2020. Here, they are published as a standardised Darwin Core Archive, which includes for each sampling event an eventID, a date, a location and a sampling protocol (in the event core); and an occurrenceID for each occurrence (tube), the number of collected individuals per tube, species status (present/absent), information on the identification and scientific name (in the occurrence extension). Issues with the dataset can be reported at https://github.com/BelgianBiodiversityPlatform/data-publication-ITG/issues

Datos del proyecto
The early detection of exotic mosquito species (EMS) along high-risk introduction routes before populations become established is of paramount importance to prevent local transmission of mosquito-borne diseases. Following previous EMS surveillance projects in Belgium, a three-year national active EMS monitoring project (MEMO) started in July 2017 to detect possible foci of introduction and establishment of EMS at an early stage in Belgium. In 2017, 2018 and 2019, active monitoring was implemented in 20 to 23 different Points of Entry (PoE). The risk of introduction and establishment of the EMS at each PoE was re-evaluated annually to ensure that the monitoring focused on the highest risk sites. Different collection methods were used, including BG-Sentinel and Mosquito Magnet® traps to collect host seeking female mosquitoes, oviposition traps to detect eggs, and larval sampling. The collected specimens were sorted and identified using morphological characteristics (Gunay et al. 2020, Becker et al. 2010). The caught EMS and five percent of all collected mosquitoes were molecularly identified to validate and confirm the morphological identification, and were subsequently deposited in a molecular reference collection. A specific molecular identification pipeline was developed to enable the proper identification of all mosquito species occurring in Belgium. Further, a morphological collection with a fair representation of the species and the most intact specimens sampled during the MEMO project was generated for future reference. Data management was done using the VECMAP® software.

| Descripción del área de estudio | Belgium |
| Descripción del diseño | Exotic mosquitoes, such as the tiger mosquito (Aedes albipoctus), are spreading as a result of increased globalisation and climate change. They were able to establish themselves in Southern Europe and now have also been spotted in Belgium. The tiger mosquito is a small but fierce creature with a painful bite that can also transmit viruses such as the dengue, Zika and chikungunya viruses. The species originally came from Southeast Asia but has now spread to Europe and America due to international transport of goods, global warming and its ability to adapt. Early detection enables better control. Even if these species manage to establish themselves here, it is important to closely monitor populations. |

| Área de Estudio | The objectives of the MEMO-project were the following: • To actively monitor mosquitoes in order to detect the possible introduction of EMS in Belgium (scenario 1) and quantify the already established local populations of EMS (scenario 2); • To detect, identify, evaluate and monitor potential import sites or points of entry (PoE’s) based on existing passive monitoring data, experience gained and/or other relevant epidemiological or ecological information; • Possible expansion of the active basic monitoring plan with additional actions: quantifying the possible introduction and spread of newly detected EMS ; • To process the collected samples including the morphological and molecular identification of collected samples, appropriate storage, reporting of all collected relevant stages of mosquito species, and the establishment of a morphological and molecular reference collection; • Analysis of the import risk of EMS in Belgium taking into account the potential PoE’s, the ecological profile of the species and climate scenarios; • To make recommendations for a future, long-term, cost-effective monitoring plan for EMS in Belgium based on the practical experience and the developed risk analysis; • Responding to ad hoc questions from the contracting authority; • Transferring the knowledge and skills generated in the project. |
