Mosquito Alert vs Insect Bite Identification

Join the world's largest mosquito surveillance network. Contribute to the study and monitoring of invasive mosquitoes and mosquitoes of epidemiological interest with the Mosquito Alert app. With it you will be able to report mosquito observations, mosquito breeding sites, and keep a record of mosquito bites. By sharing your observations, you will be providing information that scientists can use in their research to better understand the ecology of mosquitoes, disease transmission, and provide data to improve their management. Mosquito Alert is a citizen science project coordinated by several public research centers, CEAB-CSIC, UPF and CREAF, whose objective is to study, monitor and fight against the spread of disease-carrying mosquitoes. What can you do with the app? -Notify the presence of mosquitoes: -Identify their breeding places in your area -Notify when you receive a bite -Validate the photos of other participants A community of more than 50 international expert entomologists will validate the photos you send to the platform, thus being able to learn to identify the mosquito species of health interest. All observations are made public on the Mosquito Alert map website, where they can be viewed and downloaded, as well as exploring the models developed from the contributions of the participants. Your contributions are very useful for science! The Mosquito Alert app is available in more than 17 European languages: Spanish, Catalan, English, Albanian, German, Bulgarian, Croatian, Dutch, French, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Luxembourgish, Macedonian, Portuguese, Romanian, Serbian, Slovenian, Turkish . ---------------------------------------------- For more information, visit http://www.mosquitoalert.com/en/ or follow us on social networks: Twitter @Mosquito_Alert ----------------------------------------------

Photograph a bite and see what likely caused it — mosquito, tick, spider, bed bug or flea — how it usually heals, and when it is worth calling a doctor. Version 6.0 is a full rebuild. The app now recognises the bite in your photo instead of guessing from a questionnaire. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Point and shoot. A live camera with a viewfinder frames the bite — no hunting through your photo library. • Get a likely cause. Your photo is matched against a reference library of common bites and stings. • Watch it change. Add a new photo to the same bite and see the whole series with dates and times. • See a risk level on every photo in that history, so a bite that is getting worse is obvious. • Read what to watch for: symptoms, how each bite usually heals, and the signs that mean see a doctor. WHAT IS FREE AND WHAT IS NOT Taking photos, keeping your bite history and reading the reference library are free. The detailed identification result requires a Premium subscription. We would rather you knew that here than after you have taken the photo. COMMON CASES Mosquito bites, bed bug bites, tick bites, spider bites and flea bites. Ant, wasp and bee stings. Mite and chigger bites. The rash, itch and swelling that follow them. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open the camera and photograph the bite in good light. 2. The app analyses the image and reports the likely insect with a risk level. 3. Add a follow-up photo a day later to see how it is healing. IMPORTANT This is an identification aid, not a medical device, and it does not diagnose. If a bite is spreading quickly, if you have trouble breathing, or if you feel unwell, contact a doctor or emergency services — do not wait for an app. PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION Three plans are available: Premium Year, Premium Month and Premium Week Access. All three unlock the same thing — unlimited bite recognition for the chosen period. Payment is charged to your iTunes account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renewal is switched off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
