  abstract = {{B}ackground {T}he {M}editerranean {B}asin is historically a hotspot for trade, transport, and migration. {A}s a result, countries surrounding the {M}editerranean {S}ea share common public health threats. {A}mong them are vector-borne diseases, and in particular, mosquito-borne viral diseases are prime candidates as (re)emerging diseases and are likely to spread across the area. {I}mproving preparedness and response capacities to these threats at the regional level is therefore a major issue. {T}he implementation of entomological surveillance is, in particular, of utmost importance. {G}uidance in designing entomological surveillance systems is critical, and these systems may pursue different specific objectives depending on the disease. {T}he purpose of the proposed review is to draw up guidelines for designing effective and sustainable entomological surveillance systems in order to improve preparedness and response. {H}owever, we make it clear that there is no universal surveillance system, so the thinking behind harmonisation is to define evidence-based standards in order to promote best practises, identify the most appropriate surveillance activities, and optimise the use of resources. {S}uch guidance is aimed at policymakers and diverse stakeholders and is intended to be used as a framework for the implementation of entomological surveillance programmes. {I}t will also be useful to collaborate and share information with health professionals involved in other areas of disease surveillance. {M}edical entomologists and vector control professionals will be able to refer to this report to advocate for tailored entomological surveillance strategies. {T}he main threats targeted in this review are the vectors of dengue virus, chikungunya virus, {Z}ika virus, {W}est {N}ile virus, and {R}ift {V}alley fever virus. {T}he vectors of all these arboviruses are mosquitoes. {M}ethods {C}urrent knowledge on vector surveillance in the {M}editerranean area is reviewed. {T}he analysis was carried out by a collaboration of the medical entomology experts in the region, all of whom belong to the {M}edi{L}ab{S}ecure network, which is currently funded by the {E}uropean {U}nion and represents an international effort encompassing 19 countries in the {M}editerranean and {B}lack {S}ea region. {F}indings {R}obust surveillance systems are required to address the globalisation of emerging arboviruses. {T}he prevention and management of mosquito-borne viral diseases must be addressed in the prism of a {O}ne {H}ealth strategy that includes entomological surveillance as an integral part of the policy. {E}ntomological surveillance systems should be designed according to the entomological and epidemiological context and must have well-defined objectives in order to effect a tailored and graduated response. {W}e therefore rely on different scenarios according to different entomological and epidemiological contexts and set out detailed objectives of surveillance. {T}he development of multidisciplinary networks involving both academics and public authorities will provide resources to address these health challenges by promoting good practises in surveillance (identification of surveillance aims, design of surveillance systems, data collection, dissemination of surveillance results, evaluation of surveillance activities) and through the sharing of effective knowledge and information. {T}hese networks will also contribute to capacity building and stronger collaborations between sectors at both the local and regional levels. {F}inally, concrete guidance is offered on the vector of the main arbovirus based on the current situation in the area.},
