Mosquito surveillance programmes of the National Public Health Organization and the Regions: Adult mosquito traps are usually placed bimonthly during the transmission season (usually from April to November, on an annual basis). Mosquito surveillance programmes of the Benaki Phytopathological Institute: Adult mosquito traps (65 BGs traps for adult mosquitoes, employed with attractants), and 110 ovitraps for Aedes invasive species are placed weekly.

Country wide
(522 sentinel sites)

Active mosquito surveillance programes are conducted in the context of integrated mosquito management programmes, that are implemented under the responsibility of regional and municipal authorities (who outsource integrated mosquito control programmes to private contractors through a tender). At the national level, an active mosquito surveillance programme is implemented from the National Public Health Organization, in collaboration with the Medical Entomology Unit of the School of Public Health, University of West Attica, and other regional stakeholders, during the mosquito transmission period (aiming to cover the whole country). In addition, the Benaki Phytopathological Institute (Ministry of Rural Development and Food) also performs active mosquito surveillance programmes.

Greece is not endemic for Aedes-borne arboviruses, and local transmission of Aedes-borne diseases has not been recorded; thus, only ad hoc testing for arboviruses on mosquito pools collected around imported cases (of Dengue, Zika or Chikungunya) is conducted (and so far, all results were negative).
