RESUMO

Aedes aegypti, the yellow fever mosquito and Aedes albopictus, the tiger mosquito, continue to expand their geographical distribution, reshaping the European epidemiological risks for mosquito-borne diseases. The reintroduction of Aedes aegypti near the airport and port in Larnaka and the detection of Aedes albopictus near the marina and old port of the Limassol area in Cyprus are reported herein. The measures taken to investigate these events included (i) communication to health authorities, (ii) expert on-site visits and verification of findings, (iii) enhanced active surveillance, and (iv) development of an Emergency Action Plan followed by a Contingency Plan. These emergency action plans were developed to delimitate the infested areas and to prevent the spreading of the mosquito populations into new areas. The general principles are presented along with their rationale to serve as guidelines for other geographical regions targeting suppression/eradication with a sterile insect technique component. In parallel, this manuscript serves as a call for action at the European level to impede the further spread of these species and support the activities being undertaken in Cyprus to combat the incursions of Aedes invasive species.


Title: Deux invasions à la fois : le point sur l'introduction des espèces envahissantes Aedes aegypti et Aedes albopictus à Chypre ­ un appel à l'action en Europe. Abstract: Aedes aegypti, le moustique de la fièvre jaune, et Aedes albopictus, le moustique tigre, continuent à étendre leurs aires de distribution, redessinant les risques épidémiologiques des maladies transmises par les moustiques en Europe. La réintroduction d'Aedes aegypti près de l'aéroport et du port de Larnaka, et la détection d'Aedes albopictus près de la marina et du vieux port de la zone de Limassol à Chypre sont rapportées dans cette étude. Les mesures prises pour investiguer ces évènements ont inclus : (i) la communication avec les autorités sanitaires, (ii) des visites d'experts sur site et la vérification des résultats, (iii) une surveillance active augmentée et (iv) le développement d'un Plan d'Actions d'Urgence suivi d'un Plan de Contingence. Des plans d'action d'urgence ont été développés pour délimiter les zones infestées et prévenir l'expansion des populations de moustiques à d'autres zones. Les principes généraux sont présentés, en même temps que leur justification, pour guider d'autres zones géographiques visant la suppression / éradication avec une composante de technique de l'insecte stérile. En parallèle, cet article sert d'appel, au niveau européen, à prévenir la diffusion toujours plus importante de ces espèces et pour appuyer les activités à mener à Chypre pour combattre les incursions des espèces invasives d'Aedes.

RESUMO

The sudden switch to distance education to contain the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally altered adolescents' lives around the globe. The present research aims to identify psychological characteristics that relate to adolescents' well-being in terms of positive emotion and intrinsic learning motivation, and key characteristics of their learning behavior in a situation of unplanned, involuntary distance education. Following Self-Determination Theory, experienced competence, autonomy, and relatedness were assumed to relate to active learning behavior (i.e., engagement and persistence), and negatively relate to passive learning behavior (i.e., procrastination), mediated via positive emotion and intrinsic learning motivation. Data were collected via online questionnaires in altogether eight countries from Europe, Asia, and North America (N = 25,305) and comparable results across countries were expected. Experienced competence was consistently found to relate to positive emotion and intrinsic learning motivation, and, in turn, active learning behavior in terms of engagement and persistence. The study results further highlight the role of perceived relatedness for positive emotion. The high proportions of explained variance speak in favor of taking these central results into account when designing distance education in times of COVID-19.
