Hi guys,

I hope you are all doing well! April 25 is World Malaria Day, but I can imagine that this isn’t the first thing on your minds. You're probably more concerned about the infamous Corona virus right now - and rightly so.

Earth Hour - for a living planet

Due to the continuous spread of the Corona virus and as one of the efforts to “flatten the curve”, the State of Bavaria (our home state in Germany) has decided to close all schools, kindergardens and daycare centers, starting coming Monday, until the beginning of the Easter holiday, which will end on April 18th.

Regensburg, Germany, March 5, 2020:

Biogents AG, mosquito trap manufacturer, is proud to announce its latest development of a new trap for mosquito monitoring and control: the BG-Pro. Based on a modular concept, it includes Biogents versions of the established EVS (Encephalitis Virus Surveillance) trap and CDC (Centers of Disease Control) light trap, as well as an upgraded version of Biogents’ BG-Sentinel trap. The new product is a recognition of market requests for Biogents to develop other styles of monitoring traps to the same standard as the BG-Sentinel.

+++ ANNOUNCEMENT +++
After much deliberation, Biogents has decided not to attend the AMCA Annual Meeting in Portland, due to the ongoing threats posed by the Corona virus outbreak.
It is unfortunate that this decision has had to be taken as we have always been strong supporters of the AMCA and regular contributors to the Annual Meetings over the years. However, with the numbers of COVID-19 cases increasing in both Europe and the US we feel this is the only course of action.
Our primary concerns are those of a duty of care to our employees and to be able to supply our customers and distributors, both of which could be impacted by contraction and further transmission of the virus and/or extended quarantining of our staff.
Our professional products (the new BG-Pro, the BG-Counter, the BG-Sentinel, and the BG-GAT) will however still be a exhibited at the booth #316 of our distribution partner ADAPCO.

Hello, my dear Mosquito community,

Valentine's day was amazing and since then, I have been spending a lot of time with my beloved Marco. But I don't want to talk too much about him, because today is about another big and important topic: the protection of species– it’s World Wildlife Day!

Hello again – Marcy is back! I just have to tell you about my last dates. Thanks to the swiping left or right app, I’ve already had two dates – both with the same guy! His name is Marco and I’m head over heels in love.

Hi everybody,

It’s me again – your beloved tiger mosquito, Marcy. The new year is already in full swing and I want to take you along on all of my adventures. Did you have a good start and have you made some New Year’s resolutions for 2020? I’ve made a few. Are you curious?

Hi Friends,
I'm Marcy Mosquito, an Asian Tiger Mosquito, or Aedes albopictus, if you want to get all formal. I'm quite nice to look at with my dark, black body and fascinating white stripes, if I may say so myself. Don't call me a zebra mosquito though - I’m a tiger!

The 2019 Annual Fall Meeting of the Florida Mosquito Control Association (FMCA) will take place at the Embassy Suites St. Augustine Beach Ocean Front Resort from November 18th-20th.
