🦉 How do bird dynamics shape #WestNileVirus disease risk? 🐦➡️🦟➡️🧑‍🏫

🦟 Frederic Bartumeus, director of #E4Warning, brought this story to a secondary school, sparking great questions and curiosity.

💡 An inspiring session connecting ecology, global health, and awareness.

🦟 Did you know that human activity contributes to the spread of invasive mosquitoes?

🧪 During the #ScienceWeek at @ceabcsic.bsky.social, the #E4Warning team explains how we study them to anticipate environmental and health risks.

🦟 Continuing our contributions, now the floor is for our colleague @boixrichter.bsky.social, presenting our work on community-level risk assessment of #WestNileVirus.

🌿 We examine host–vector dynamics and the effects of landscape disturbance within the Ecosystems for Health Session.

🔝 This week, part of the our scientific team is attending #SOVE2025.

🔛 Our project was presented by Frederic Bartumeus, highlighting how we integrate eco-epidemiological modeling, advanced surveillance, and environmental dynamics to improve prediction and mitigation of mosquito-borne disease risks.

💧How can wetlands across Europe serve as sentinel sites in times of global change?

🥼Scientists from #E4Warning, #IDAlertproject, and #PDPD ( #ErasmusMC ) met at @ceabcsic.bsky.social to explore #WestNileVirus transmission in European wetlands.

🔝 Stay tuned for insights, coming soon!

🙏 We are pleased to be participating in the #Arbovirosis section at #EnfEmerg, presenting our work at #E4Warning, including preliminary results from our capture-recapture experiments.

🔝 A valuable opportunity to share knowledge and advances.

🔝 Today, Frederic Bartumeus, researcher at
@ceabcsic.bsky.social and our project coordinator, participates in the XV #EnfEmerg conference.

🧑‍🔬 He will present work on #E4Warning, addressing arboviral disease challenges through innovative eco-epidemiology in both endemic and emerging contexts.

🌾 Fieldwork has started at Empordà #Wetlands!

🦟 The @mosquitoalert.bsky.social team is out setting traps, deploying acoustic devices, and using aspirators to collect blood-fed female mosquitoes in order to study their diet and detect pathogen patterns.

🔜 Stay tunned for updates!

🎉 Congratulations to @drrachellowe.bsky.social , member of the #E4Warning consortium and finalist for the @lavanguardia.com Science Award for her excellent research at @bsc-cns.bsky.social!

🌺 We wrapped up the day with a visit to the breathtaking botanical garden "Jardí Botànic Marimurtra".

🦟There, we explored the site's natural beauty and ongoing experiments within the #IDAlert project.

💬 The afternoon was dedicated to brainstorming and evaluating data collection protocols and statistical methods used to study mosquito communities.

🤝 We also explored opportunities for collaboration and aligning the project’s scientific goals within the #OneHealth framework.

🔬 Day 2 of our meeting!

🌾We returned to the Empordà #Wetlands, working with tools generously provided by Nathan Burkett-Cadena from Florida University.

🦟 These tools allow us to study how landscapes influence the circulation of #WestNileVirus by examining mosquito feeding patterns.

🧠 Time is also dedicated to discussing the methodologies applied to enhance results. 📊
📢 The visit continues today, stay tuned for more updates from the field!

📍Yesterday, we explored the diverse landscapes of the Empordà #Wetlands region during our fieldwork, an ideal setting to study vector ecology and biodiversity in action. 🌿🧪

🌾 We visited the Empordà #Wetlands, a key field site for both projects, to showcase the tools we use for mosquito community and vector movement studies.

🦟 These include BG traps, resting traps, Audiomoths, and acoustic sensors, combining tech and field ecology.

🔝 This week, researchers from European projects #E4Warning and #IDAlert come together at
@ceabcsic.bsky.social for a joint workshop and hands-on fieldwork, combining science, sensors, and collaboration. 🌍

🦟 Would you like to know what we are working on?

🔝 Two years ago, we kicked off #E3Warning 🚨 — with the main goal of advancing Eco-Epidemiological Intelligence for Early Warning and response to mosquito-borne disease risk in endemic and emerging settings.

🦟 Thank you to all partners for driving innovation forward! 🌍 #E3WarningAnniversary

🚀 At #E4Warning, we have kicked off 2025 by preparing for the upcoming sampling season.

👥 Our team is already working in the #Empordà Wetlands, one of our study sites, which remains stunning even in winter.❄️🌿

🔜 Stay tuned for more updates and insights from our fieldwork!
