To ELC M1 recipients of funds for Aedes aegypti/albopictus mosquito surveillance and insecticide resistance testing:

Dear ELC M1 grantees,

Last fall, you received an email announcing the launch of MosquitoNET with directions for establishing jurisdictions in your state and a request to provide us contact information for or notify jurisdiction level uses to set up accounts. This email is a reminder to do this important task if you haven’t already done so. Instructions are below. CDC has already received input from 21 ELC participants establishing 108 jurisdictions. So far, we’ve registered 78 individual users. Please complete establishing jurisdictions and points of contact as soon as possible. For additional questions or technical assistance, please email: mosquito@cdc.gov.

Sincerely,

CDC is pleased to announce the launch of MosquitoNET, a new web-based system designed to capture Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus mosquito surveillance and insecticide resistance testing data.  MosquitoNET only captures information on species, location and resistance so please continue to use ArboNET for reporting virus infection data in mosquitoes.

Reference:

• Version 2, updated November 9, 2016: Guidelines for Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus Surveillance and Insecticide Resistance Testing in the United States, V.2, 11/9/16

• User Guide for establishing and using MosquitoNET  (See attached PDF: MosquitoNETUserGuide)

Below are instructions that states and jurisdictions will need to understand the process for establishing a MosquitoNET user account and to begin reporting mosquito surveillance and insecticide resistance testing data.

Before setting up a MosquitoNET account

1. ELC M1 primary funding recipients must define jurisdictions requiring MosquitoNET access for reporting. 

2. Once jurisdictions have been identified, states will need to complete and submit two spreadsheets to CDC.  If these spreadsheets are not completed and submitted, jurisdiction-level users will not be able to establish a MosquitoNET account.

• List of jurisdictions (See attached Excel file: MosquitoNET_State_Jurisdiction_Spreadsheet)

• Jurisdiction-level User Form (See attached Excel file: MosquitoNET_User_Form)

3. Once completed, email both spreadsheets to: mosquito@cdc.gov.  CDC will email you a confirmation receipt within 2 business days.

4. Contact each identified jurisdiction and ask them to establish a MosquitoNET account for data submission to CDC.

5. Questions?  mosquito@cdc.gov

How to establish a MosquitoNET account

1. Go to https://wwwn.cdc.gov/Arbonet/MosquitoNET/

2. At your first visit to the MosquitoNET website, you will be prompted to set up a username and password.  To complete the account setup, you will be asked to provide contact, organization, jurisdiction, and state information.

3. After entering your information, select Request Account, and your information will be sent to CDC.  Your information will be checked against the state-provided list of users.  The account will be approved or rejected within 2 business days.

4. You will receive an email confirmation from CDC when your account has been approved.

5. Once approved, you can access MosquitoNET by using the username and password that you created.

6. Access the MosquitoNET home page to review the MosquitoNET User Guides and to download data reporting spreadsheet templates.

Data reporting in MosquitoNET

Once an account has been successfully created, users can view and download data collection and reporting materials online.

Finally, thanks for your continued support of the Zika response effort.   Our shared success in this effort required ongoing coordination at multiple levels on several critical topics.  We appreciate your efforts and remain committed to supporting you as you and your local partners implement and maintain MosquitoNET and other Zika response activities.
