Interviews
Field interviews capture reported bite experiences and their context.
About H-MIP
Research on human–mosquito interaction
H-MIP studies how people and mosquitoes meet. This public site presents the project’s questions and methods in a form that residents and local decision makers can explore.
Project
Understanding exposure in daily life
The Human–Mosquito Interaction Project investigates the circumstances in which people encounter mosquitoes. Its research connects human activity and movement with mosquito ecology, with a focus on the tiger mosquito in Catalonia.
H-MIP Bites is the public-facing companion to that research. It is designed to help explain where, when and during which activities bites may occur. The numerical displays currently use synthetic demonstration data until approved project files are available.

Several methods, one interaction question
The project draws on complementary sources. Together they can describe both the mosquito side of an encounter and the human activity around it.
Citizen science
Public observations, including those made through Mosquito Alert, contribute evidence about mosquitoes.
Mobility
Movement and activity patterns help frame where encounters may happen.
Laboratory analysis
Blood-meal analysis can help identify mosquito feeding patterns.
Spatial modelling
Models bring different evidence together to examine geographic patterns.
Uncertainty
Research estimates need their limits and uncertainty explained alongside them.
Team & partners
Research across institutions
H-MIP is carried out by researchers at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) and the Centre for Advanced Studies of Blanes (CEAB-CSIC). Mosquito Alert is a citizen-science platform connected to this research area.
