Remote Sensing and On-Site Characterization of Wetlands as Potential Habitats for Malaria Vectors

Insect-borne diseases are an ongoing threat to public health. Among other common known diseases, malaria is still a worldwide health problem and also of relevance in colder regions. The spread of this disease is currently supported by the increase of wetland areas, environmental change, warming, a decrease of pesticide use and an overall mosquito import via travel. That’s why HNU’s DigiHealth Institute and Biogents combine natural and health science methods to identify potential future mosquito risk areas in the new research project "Swammp" (Swabian Mosquito Monitoring Project).

Hello my dears,

today is a rather unpleasant occasion for me to talk about.

🌎💨🗓️    Can you guess what these pictures are supposed to tell you?

Hello my dear friends,

I, Marcy Mosquito, have just found out that May 20 is World Bee Day. And you know what? Those bees have been bothering me for a while.

Dear colleagues, partners, and friends,

Recently, some of our contacts have received e-mails from sources that pretended to be Biogents staff or management. This specific version of attempted e-mail fraud, using forged sender addresses, is called spoofing.

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.
