Climate change and expanding trade routes are introducing new and non-native mosquito species into new areas of Canada. Traditional surveillance methods struggle to cover Canada’s vast geography and remote areas. Community science is an effective approach in raising awareness of vector distribution and enhancing monitoring efforts. This toolkit synthesizes the literature and offers practical tools for community organizations to enhance mosquito monitoring through community science projects.
