In 2019, a real-time digital mosquito monitoring system (DMS) was installed nationwide in Korea. The purpose of this project was to evaluate twelve regional vector surveillance centers that were installed to evaluate the occurrence of mosquitoes and the effectiveness of the equipment in urban environments from July to September 2019. A total of five genera, fourteen species, 86,912 individual mosquitoes (8,329 individuals per equipment) were collected in city centers. The accuracy of mosquito counting was calculated at 0.82. In urban environments, Culex pipiens complex was the most dominant species and composed 69.5% of all captured specimens, followed by Cx. tritaeniorhynchus (8.6%), Aedes vexans (7.4%) and others. Based on these results, in 2020, DMS will be divided into urban and rural environments, and real-time assessment of the density of each disease-borne mosquito by environment will be applied to the future introduction of the mosquito prediction system.
