AIM-COST Video Series

For mosquito management, data and knowledge sharing is critical and the current COVID-19 outbreak and the subsequent restriction on meetings and travel presents a barrier to the usual knowledge transfer so critical to controlling invasive mosquito species.   Therefore the AIM-COST consortium decided to produce videos as training aids aiming to visualize suggested guidelines for the management of Aedes invasive mosquitoes.

We hope that this material proves a valuable resource for trainers and trainees to enable knowledge sharing and ensure more effective learning.

The AIMCOST team would very much like to get your feedback on the videos –  things like whether they deal with the right topics,  what others might be useful ,  and who will use them.  We have prepared a brief questionnaire that will take less than 5 minutes to complete.  Please follow this link (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1eUb9O7vbcx1bYhHg68sY7Gn-CYnHowJISbBS-Uzzec0/edit#responses) to access the questionnaire once you have seen all or some of AIM COST videos.  Thank you in advance for your help.

After several virtual meetings during the winter period in 2021 it was decided to prepare thematic videos aiming to describe the suggested management plans against Aedes invasive mosquitoes. Thus, in summer 2021 a Workshop entitled "How to use surveillance tools for an effective control" organised in Athens (Greece, Local Organizers: Antonios Michaelakis) The aim of the workshop was the creation and production of one introductive video for Aedes invasive mosquitoes (AIM) and 2 thematic videos on AIMs surveillance and control.
