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

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.

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

@JGvanderBeek See you there! Leaving tomorrow with @tessascupoftea, @Anopheline and @Ibanez_Bros.

On the train to Montpellier for #ESOVE! It’s the perfect time to submit a manuscript and work on another.

@vectorgen @KonradPhD Cool work Jason! Please also check our latest publication in which we included a similar finding more as a sidenote: ‘Interestingly, we also found a small number of infected Cx. pipiens males with virus-positive leg and saliva samples.’ parasitesandvectors.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Promotion time! 🦟💧🐦‍⬛ On 4 October 2024 @CharlotteLinth, one of our PhD’s, will defend her PhD thesis titled:  ‘The role of native and invasive mosquito species in the spread of emerging arboviruses in the Netherlands’ at the @WUR. Attend online via: wur.yuja.com

Breaking News! Code UFB!!! In a year of mind-blowing extremes, yet another new record high global sea surface temperature was set yesterday, at 21.17°C. "So long, and thanks for all the fish!"

@HowThingsWork_ A.I. generated? And yes, although the mosquito is the winner, it does not have four wings😬.

Comparison showing the approx number of ☠️ annually to humans! Some are pretty surprising... 😮

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

The deadline for abstract submission has been extended to December 6! And there is also still time to register as an attendant - until December 10 at an early bird rate. Welcome to join!

Join December 15 for the yearly Dutch Entomologyday. Meet fellow entomologists, get updated on the latest findings and/or present your own work! 🐛🐜🦟🪰🐞🦗

Dengue is spreading in Europe: how worried should we be? go.nature.com/3si6zVS

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 ;).

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.

@Anopheline @DickeMarcel @BlomRody There are 1,000,001 mosquitoes. A giant one on the wall in the back. Still, quite impressive numbers

@DickeMarcel @BlomRody @BugproofBugprof Who counted (and identified) them and how?

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.
