BopCo will be present at the 10th European Mosquito Control Association (EMCA) International Conference, which will be held in Vienna (Austria) from 3rd to the 7th of October 2021.
Between 2017 and 2020, larvae, pupae, and adults of Culiseta longiareolata were found at distinct locations in Belgium and the Netherlands. Collected mosquitoes were morphologically identified and the identification was then validated by BopCo using COI DNA barcoding. These are the first records for this species, which might be a potential vector of bird pathogens (e.g., West Nile virus), in Belgium and the Netherlands.
