E4Warning Mosquito Surveillance Data

Field Details Partner Indicates the name of the partner institution that conducted the fieldwork. Acronym Institution Provides the acronym of the responsible partner institution. Curator Specifies the names of the individuals who carried out the field work, analyzed the samples in the laboratory, and curated the data. Experiment or Surveillance Options = SIT, MRR, SURV. Indicates if the data are from a surveillance (SURV) or from experiments like SIT or MRR. Country This field specifies the country from which the data were collected. Admin Unit (NUTs3) This could refer to a specific administrative division, such as a district or province. Trap ID [E(ovitraps) or A(BGS traps) + location name + numbering]: Each trap is assigned a unique identifier, which could be a combination of letters and numbers. This identifier might also indicate the type of trap used: 'E' signifies the use of an ovitrap, while 'A' indicates a BG-trap for adult mosquitoes. Latitude The geographic UTM coordinates indicating the location of the trap. Longitude The geographic UTM coordinates indicating the location of the trap. Trap type This variable indicates what kind of trap has been used defining three different options: “Ovitrap”, “BG-Sentinel” or “BG-Pro”. Attractant This variable indicates what kind of attractant has been used with the trap defining different options: “BG-Lure”, “CO2”, “CO2+lure”, “lights + lure”, but add as much details as possible. Company names, in particular for chemical attractants, are helpful. Explicitly state if not attractant was used. Start date Date of the start of the sampling with a YYMMDD format. Start time hh:mm format of the time of trap activation. End date Date of the end of the sampling with a YYMMDD format. End time hh:mm format of the time of trap deactivation. Trapping effort (days) Number of days that the trap has been activated. Trapping effort (hours) Number of hours that the trap has been activated. Total number of eggs on tongue depressor Numeric value that refers to the total number of mosquito eggs found on the oviposition substrate (tongue) of the ovitrap. Mosquito species The species of mosquitoes identified collected in the trap. Provide the scientific name avoiding abbreviations. Write “Aedes albopictus” instead of “Ae. Albopictus”. Number per species Total number of individuals per species captured in the trap. The value must be the sum of the number of females and males captured when the life-stage identified is adult. When using ovitraps we need to use a way to record and analyze the number of eggs for each mosquito species using for that a formula that comprises: the total number of eggs collected, the number of eggs that were selected for a sub-sample and hatched to identified the species in the laboratory from larvae or adults; and finally, the sum of all individuals from the sub-sample that were successfully hatched and analyzed. The formula calculates the proportional representation of hatched individuals from the sub-sample relative to the total number of hatched individuals. It reflects the hatching success and viability of the eggs collected adjusted for the size of the sub-sample analyzed. This value is important for understanding species-specific reproductive success and potential impact on the mosquito population dynamics. Life-Stage identified Indicates the life stage of the mosquitoes identified, with options being “adult”, “larva”, or “egg”. Number of females Number of females counted in the trap. Number of males Number of males counted in the trap. Number of blood-fed females Number of blood-fed females counted in the trap. Data validity 1-invalidates data; 2-Reduces data quality, 3-Add info or interesting observations to interpret results; 4-no comment. Comment sample Possible additional comment about the sample.
