Abstract
Human and animal vector-borne diseases, particularly mosquito-borne diseases, are emerging or
re-emerging worldwide. Six Aedes invasive mosquito (AIM) species were introduced to Europe
since the 1970s: Aedes aegypti, Ae. albopictus, Ae. japonicus, Ae. koreicus, Ae. atropalpus and
Ae. triseriatus. Here, we report the results of AIMSurv2020, the first pan-European surveillance
effort for AIMs. Implemented by 42 volunteer teams from 24 countries. And presented in the
form of a dataset named “AIMSurv Aedes Invasive Mosquito species harmonized surveillance
in Europe. AIM-COST Action. Project ID: CA17108”. AIMSurv2020 harmonizes field surveillance
methodologies for sampling different AIMs life stages, frequency and minimum length of
sampling period, and data reporting. Data include minimum requirements for sample types
and recommended requirements for those teams with more resources. Data are published as a
Darwin Core archive in the Global Biodiversity Information Facility- Spain, comprising a core file
with 19,130 records (EventID) and an occurrences file with 19,743 records (OccurrenceID). AIM
species recorded in AIMSurv2020 were Ae. albopictus, Ae. japonicus and Ae. koreicus, as well as
native mosquito species.
