MosquitoWeb

MosquitoWeb — a platform for reporting unfamiliar mosquitoes you have found

A project of the Institute of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine at NOVA University: the form asks you to mark the location on a map, say whether you saw the mosquito indoors or outdoors and where exactly, give your name and phone number, and add a photo. There is also a map of confirmed finds around the country.

Where you come across it. You have seen a black-and-white mosquito in your garden and want the species identified.
This is a university ‘citizen science’ project, not a state service: it makes no decisions about your garden. Surveillance on the ground is carried out by the Unidade de Saúde Pública of your ULS, and species are identified by the CEVDI laboratory at INSA.
