Data Management.
A key opportunity to strengthen mosquito control is through improved information communication technologies to record, analyse and present essential data for program management decisions.
PacMOSSI achievements.
PacMOSSI has collaborated with Beyond Essential Systems to develop a standardised set of mosquito surveillance digital data collection forms within the Tupaia platform. The forms are available through a smartphone App. They facilitate collection, aggregation and visualisation of data from adult mosquito and larval surveillance, insecticide resistance testing and product efficacy evaluation.
With input from in-country mosquito surveillance personnel, the PacMOSSI consortium assists to tailor the fields included in data collection forms to suit individual country needs. The electronic data management tools have been successfully deployed in 5 countries, with face-to-face and online training sessions held to support the process.

PacMOSSI future activities.
Discussions are underway with additional countries who have expressed interest in support to improve their data management for mosquito surveillance and control. This includes considerations for use of the Tupaia platform.
Tupaia is a data collection, aggregation and visualisation platform that comprises an offline data collection tool and a map-based data visualisation tool that can be customised to suit any data project.
