IDAlert project

It’s #WorldHealthDay and this year’s focus is on maternal & newborn health🤱 Through our research, we’re also helping protect women, babies & communities from emerging health risks—as some infections can have serious consequences during pregnancy, affecting both mother & baby💚👶

💬 We interviewed @lmbouwer, an expert in #ClimateRiskAssessment at @HereonHelmholtz, to discuss his work in IDAlert 🗣 "We are projecting future infectious disease risks under climate change, integrating scenarios & adaptation actions to inform policy" idalertproject.eu/developing-pro…

🥼 Researchers from #E4Warning and @IDAlertproject met at @ceabcsic for a joint workshop and hands-on fieldwork combining science, sensors, and collaboration. 🌿 The visit included @MarimurtraJardi, a key study site for #IDAlert research. #OneHealth

🦟 On #WorldMalariaDay we’re reminded that #malaria is not just history. As climate shifts, so do conditions for transmission, even in Europe. 📍In Attica 🇬🇷, #IDAlert tracks #Anopheles mosquitoes in wetland ecosystems to protect health & biodiversity. 🎥shorturl.at/GZ7MR

📢 New study as part of IDAlert explores the temperature sensitivity of #WestNileVirus transmission. Optimal transmission occurs at ~24°C🌡️ for #Culex mosquitoes. 🦟 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1012866 👉 journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a… #ClimateChange #PublicHealth #MosquitoBorneDiseases

🦠🌍 Last week, IDAlert held its 3rd General Assembly in Athens 🇬🇷, with 3 days of scientific exchange, strategic planning, & field demos, including a drone-based larvicidal intervention in Marathonas 👉 Learn more about the GA: idalertproject.eu/moving-forward…

👥 This week, part of the #MosquitoAlert team is in Athens for the @IDAlertproject General Meeting. 🌾 During the event, our co-director @fredbartu presented the Girona study site, highlighting the ongoing work in the Empordà Wetlands & at the @MarimurtraJardi Botanical Garden.

🏆IDAlert partner Anna Omazic wins the Science Communicator of the Year award from @SVA_vetmed! ✅She helped launch #ReportTick, a #citizenscience tool that has collected 25K+ tick images to track infections and has been featured in the media 475 times 👉idalertproject.eu/anna-omazic-re…
