El projecte Big Mosquit Bytes ha estat seleccionat dins la convocatòria de salut de “la Caixa”. El projecte combinarà la ciència ciutadana i altres fonts de dades massives per a desenvolupar models innovadors que permetin predir el risc d’epidèmies, així com visualitzar aquest risc a temps real. La Red Nacional de Vigilància Epidemiològica ha notificat 1.800 casos importats de dengue, chikungunya i zika des de el 2014. La Xarxa de Vigilància Epidemiològica de Catalunya va confirmar 700 casos d’arbovirosis importats entre 2015-2018. En el projecte liderat pel CEAB-CSIC, participen científics de la UPF, l’Institut Max Planck de Demografia, el Centre Nacional d’Epidemiologia del ISPIII i el CREAF, i es nodreix en gran part de la plataforma de ciència ciutadana Mosquit Alert.
