Informational Bite Diary workshop

Panpim Thongsripong

Join us for light refreshments and learn more about mosquitoes and our Bite Diary project.

Environmental Learning Center (Lagoon Room)

Do you know how often you get bitten by mosquitoes per day? What about people in Brazil, Norway, or Ghana? Mosquito bites are not only nuisances, they can cause diseases or even death. World Health Organization estimated that malaria alone cause over 600,000 deaths in 2021 (a majority of them in Africa, where the disease is most prevalent).So far we have no data on mosquito bite exposure rate in human populations. This is the average number of mosquito bites a person may receive per day, which vary depend on where they live, what they wear, the time of the year, or the lifestyles. This lack of data is unfortunate because the bite exposure rate is among the most important representations of disease risk. This is why we created a research tool called Bite Diary. It is a mobile app that helps people keep track of mosquito bites they may receive throughout their days. It is used in research projects where research participants record the occurrence of mosquito bites for a limited amount of time (e.g., 1 week). We also provide education to research participants so they can better protect themselves against mosquito-borne diseases.
