The mosquito vision application was created to provide five-day forecasts for mosquito nuisance every day during the evening (20:30-22:30) and at night (22:30-) at a settlement level.

Figure 44. Screenshots from the Mosquito vision application showing a) the global map with evening nuisance in Central Macedonia as predicted for 31/07/2020, b) the symbology of the icons (dark green = zero nuisance, light green = low nuisance, yellow = medium nuisance, orange = high nuisance and red = very high nuisance), c) the predicted evening nuisance (mainly caused by Aedes caspius) for 02/08/2020 and d) the predicted nuisance during night (mainly caused by Culex pipiens) for the same day. Each point represents an individual village and points with numbers in it represent a cluster of villages with the same nuisance level.

The Mosquito Vision application is based on the BAD model and was calibrated from its launching on the 1^st of July 2020 until the first week of October by comparing the results of the predicted mosquito abundances with the felt nuisance of 47 peers in 44 residential areas in Central Macedonia by means of a structured questionnaire filled in through Google forms containing personal information about the respondent and the place of evaluation.
