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.

The in-app camera is not good enough to take photos where one can identify the mosquito and since the latest update I can't upload already existing photos - so basically I can't use this app anymore. Edit: thank you for the update!

Great app and cool research. It's a particularly difficult challenge to kill mosquitoes "softly" though... And for all the .... app can run without any additional permission

Simple, elegant and (hopefully) effective. It would be great if the app would allow for only selected pictures to be granted access to or was made in a way, so we could also use the macro camera on our phones; I then found though that the app has access to all media regardless of permission settings 😅

Great tool for citizen science. This renovated version allows reporting several species of mosquito, adding a picture and a description.

Wow! It's great, it's really amazing. In my opinion it is best, and it doesn't require any improvements. And who are saying this app fake are really ___________. I think they will know what to be filled in that dash. And every person have different mindset, so everyone will have different words for them to fill in that dash. But according to me, they are dullard.

Why would a mosquito alert app need to access files on my device? Uninstalled
★☆☆☆☆Chris Lacey· Jul 26, 2021
Does not work on my Pixel 2. App opens, but I get stuck on the main screen with a loading sign in front of all the buttons. The buttons to report bite, mosquitos or breeding site do not work

Great idea in theory. Tried to report a mosquito (the main function of the app) and it wouldn't let me select a location because it wasn't even showing the map. Also, couldn't find anywhere to report this as a glitch in the app. I heard about this 5 years ago and was told the app didn't work well, but I hoped it would be better by now, guess I know why no one uses it- because it doesn't work properly enough to function.

Looks like a proper app but does not work on my phone. Asks for movement and location access, and I did not grant those. First I want to see what it does before I grant accesses. But now it keeps on showing a loading circle forever. Uninstalling.
