The citizen science project 'Mueckenatlas' (mosquito atlas) was implemented in
early 2012 to improve mosquito surveillance in Germany. Citizens are asked to
support the spatiotemporal mapping of culicids by submitting mosquito specimens
collected in their private surroundings. The Mueckenatlas has developed into an
efficient tool for data collection with close to 30,000 mosquitoes submitted by
the end of 2015. While the vast majority of submissions included native mosquito
species, a small percentage represented invasive species. The discovery of Aedes
albopictus (Skuse) (Diptera: Culicidae), Aedes japonicus japonicus (Theobald)
(Diptera: Culicidae) and Aedes koreicus (Edwards) (Diptera: Culicidae) specimens
via the Mueckenatlas project prompted targeted monitoring activities in the field
which produced additional information on the distribution of these species in
Germany. Among others, Mueckenatlas submissions led to the detection of three
populations of Ae. j. japonicus in West, North and Southeast Germany in 2012,
2013, and 2015, respectively. As demonstrated by on-site monitoring, the origins
of Ae. j. japonicus specimens submitted to the Mueckenatlas mirror the
distribution areas of the four presently known German populations as found by
active field sampling (the fourth population already reported prior to the launch
of the Mueckenatlas). The data suggest that a citizen science project such as the
Mueckenatlas may aid in detecting changes in the mosquito fauna and can therefore
be used to guide the design of more targeted field surveillance activities.
