One Health Entomology Group, Wageningen University

One Health Entomology website is launched ! onehealthentomologygroup.nl

Tomorrow, my joint @pdpc21 PhD project with @cml_biodiv and @OneHealthEnto on the effects salinization of Dutch waterways on mosquitoes will be featured in the Dutch @Wetenschap program Focus. Tune in on October 31 at 20:55 on #NPO2.

Whooo, we have a winner! Congratulations @daviddoescience with the poster prize at the #esove2024 👏. The 3D printed coffee cups used for the LAMP method were a great addition to the poster. #xenosurveillance #onehealthentomology

I travelled all the way to #ESOVE # Montpellier to see my vector biology hero @Fredros_Inc .., .. on screen ! Good example that you can give inspiring talks without adding tons to your CO2 footprint. 🦟

Can you find us on the #esove group picture? It's exciting to meet so many researchers from different countries and institutes, and to be able to share experiences and the latest work in the field! #esove2024 #onehealthentomology

@ReinaSikkema just gave an extensive overview at the #esove on the work by the One Health PACT, including the presence of Usutu and West Nile virus in the Netherlands. There is increasing evidence that Usutu is here to stay, and overwinters in NL. #onehealthpact #esove2024

Another great poster at the #esove, @daviddoescience shows how LAMP assays can be used as a cost-effective xenosurveillance approach using reusable aluminium coffee cups! Have a look at S7-P09.

Have a look at our posters at #esove! Carlijn Balvers shares work on capturing blood-fed mosquitoes from the field for xenosurveillance purposes and assessing host availability using eDNA from air-samplers (S02-P03). #errazeproject #wur

@JBJulianbakker, post-doc in our group, talking about ticks, rodents, and tick-borne encephalitis virus and their interactions in the Netherlands #esove #esove2024 #ticks

We have arrived at ESOVE! Looking forward to a fun week full of vector biology. Members of our OHE team will be presenting and brought posters. We'll keep you updated and hope to see you in person 😁. #esove2024 #esove #onehealthentomology

To give you a glimpse, here Carlijn is setting up the air filter to detect mosquito host-availability using #eDNA.

As part of her PhD project, Carlijn Balvers is studying whether blood-fed mosquitoes can be used to monitor pathogens circulating in animal populations. If you are curious, look at her blog at our #onehealth ento website! 👇🦟 #erraze @WUR onehealthentomologygroup.nl/2024/02/21/sci…

Last few days to apply for a PhD on mosquitoes, diseases and environmental change in Scotland at @UofG_SBOHVM. With @NulisInVerba, @drheatherferg and me. 🦟🦠🌄☔️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Apply before Thursday!

PhD defense @Radboud_Uni of Alexis Rulisa about the economic links between rice irrigation and malaria in Rwanda. Great work from an interdisciplinary team.

Nice kick-off of the #OneHealth talks and drinks seminar series, co-organized by @PEandRC and the ERRAZE program of WUR. Next month (7 dec.): One Health & Citizen Science, with @HuyseTine, @BlomRody and @BBriggeman

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 ;).

If you can't wait to hear my talk you can visit my poster during the poster session! @ASTMH @ACME_ASTMH @acav

Goodmorning, people @ASTMH, today @bluxlon and I will host session 131 on 'The influence of arboviruses on the mosquito's journey from host-seeking to blood-feeding'. We've gathered an amazing panel of speakers! @sofaltavaeu, @DougBrackney. See you at 12.45, Regency Ballroom C.

@tessascupoftea @ASTMH Well deserved @tessascupoftea

Thank you so much for the great opportunity! 👏 @ASTMH #TROPMED23.
