In Portugal, a vector surveillance national program\u2014REVIVE (REde de VIgil\u00e2ncia de VEctores)\u2014has been operating since 2008 under the custody of Portuguese Ministry of Health. The REVIVE is responsible for the nationwide surveillance of hematophagous arthropods. Surveillance for West Nile virus (WNV) and other flaviviruses in adult mosquitoes is continuously performed. Adult mosquitoes\u2014collected mainly with Centre for Disease Control light traps baited with CO2\u2014and larvae were systematically collected from a wide range of habitats in 20 subregions (NUTS III). Around 500,000 mosquitoes were trapped in more than 3,000 trap nights and 3,500 positive larvae surveys, in which 24 species were recorded. The viral activity detected in mosquito populations in these years has been limited to insect specific flaviviruses (ISFs) non-pathogenic to humans.  Rather than emergency response, REVIVE allows timely detection of changes in abundance and species diversity providing valuable knowledge to health authorities,  which may take control measures of vector populations reducing its impact on  public health. This work aims to present the REVIVE operation and to expose data regarding mosquito species composition and detected ISFs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph111111583","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,12]],"date-time":"2014-11-12T11:53:07Z","timestamp":1415793187000},"page":"11583-11596","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":49,"title":["Mosquito Surveillance for Prevention and Control of Emerging Mosquito-Borne Diseases in Portugal \u2014 2008\u20132014"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Hugo","family":"Os\u00f3rio","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Vectors and Infectious Diseases Research, National Institute of Health Dr. Ricardo Jorge,  Av. da Liberdade 5, 2965-575 \u00c1guas de Moura, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7258-1439","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"L\u00edbia","family":"Z\u00e9-Z\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Vectors and Infectious Diseases Research, National Institute of Health Dr. Ricardo Jorge,  Av. da Liberdade 5, 2965-575 \u00c1guas de Moura, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5445-4142","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"F\u00e1tima","family":"Amaro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Vectors and Infectious Diseases Research, National Institute of Health Dr. Ricardo Jorge,  Av. da Liberdade 5, 2965-575 \u00c1guas de Moura, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0065-9000","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria","family":"Alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Vectors and Infectious Diseases Research, National Institute of Health Dr. Ricardo Jorge,  Av. da Liberdade 5, 2965-575 \u00c1guas de Moura, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Petric, D., Bellini, R., Scholte, E.-J., Rakotoarivony, L.M., and Schaffner, F.
