I really love our campus and its atmosphere @WUR, but some places are still a thorn in the side. Today, I even observed live mosquito larvae in the water of this ‘pond’ underneath our auditorium (Omnia). More greenness will promote natural enemies. @KarenKloth as witness ;).
Thanks for hosting us @ird_fr. And the number of active Ae. albopictus at this time of the year was truly amazing: within 2 min. around 10-15 females could be found circulating around our legs.
Last week @BugproofBugprof and @Anopheline ‘trained’ to Montpellier for a workshop on ‘The greening of cities and the effects on vectors’ organized by @ird_fr. Aedes albopictus still very active in the (beautiful) botanical gardens and nearby city center.

Teaching @WUR in September means tick hunting for the Basics of Infectious Diseases course. Nice start and tour @wildvanavolare wildlife rescue center (many ticks from hedgehogs!) and today monitoring verges of forest tracks for questing ticks.
Proud to see the impact of our @OneHealthEnto alumnus Emmanuel Hakizimana on malaria vector control in Rwanda using drones and Bti newtimes.co.rw/article/6147/…
How cool is that? My daughter asked me to help me out with her 4th grade secondary school #Biology test on the #Evolution chapter. Of course I can help with this excellent example of evolution and adaptation in the common house mosquito 🤣@OneHealthEJP @OneHealthPact @freekvonk
Today’s temperature: 7 degrees C. According to literature, the temperature at which nymphal ticks become active. And sure they did: 100+ nymphs and few adults were collected for Carlijn’s tick infection practice studies in half an hour!

Based on my interview in NRC: we say ‘muggenbeet’ (mosquito bite), but we call the proboscis ‘steeksnuit’ (which translates as stinging snout). Curious to know what it is in your language: biting or stinging? Leave your replies below 😀 #semantics nrc.nl/nieuws/2023/02/08/waa…
We found that tick-borne encephalitis virus has likely been introduced on multiple, independent occasions in NL and that there are a few places in the country where the virus actively circulates in ticks and wild mice. See tinyurl.com/47wy4msb
Too bad I can’t be there, but please come and see their fantastic work on #mosquitoes and #ticks.
The OHE group has arrived in Seattle for the #astmh2022! Let us know if you're there too and would like to meet-up. You can find me tomorrow during Poster Session A, number 130. @OneHealthEnto

Normaal zijn radio interviews relatief kort, maar vandaag heb ik in de Zeeuwse Kamer van #omroepzeeland wat uitgebreider kunnen vertellen over mijn fascinatie voor de mug omroepzeeland.nl/radio/progr… @WURplant @OneHealthEnto
Interesting talk about #CitizenScience and schistosomiasis surveillance. Lots of parallels with our mosquito work. Good work from @HuyseTine, @NoeliaVaBh and team. #ICOPA2022
Really nice to see that this massive effort has come together. Great to have been part of this consortium with our @OneHealthEnto team and contribute to important studies on 🦟- 🦠 interactions.
📢Our paper is finally out @NatureComms !
A collaborative work @ZIKAlliance @institutpasteur investigating vector competence for #Zika #virus among 50 populations of #mosquitoes🦟.
💡This is the most comprehensive study of vector competence to date using the same protocols!
Help deze zomer mee om de impact van de warme, droge zomer in kaart te krijgen #muggen #CitizenScience
