Funding
Funding was received from the project: "Research project for the entomological surveillance of mosquitoes in Attica Region, Greece” [funded from the Attica Region]. The funders had no role in the study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the article.
Ethics approval and consent to participate
The entomological surveillance for mosquitoes in this study used adult traps, all deployed in collaboration with the Region of Attica. None of the collection sites were located within protected areas, thus specific permits for entomological surveillance were not required. Furthermore, the Benaki Phytopathological Institute and the University of West Attica, serving as coordinators for this study, undergo regular inspections by local authorities to ensure adherence to pertinent national and international laws, conventions, guidelines, and ethical standards regarding safety and conduct.
