These guidelines and comments were written by experts of the Infravec2 consortium, a Horizon 2020-funded consortium integrating the most sophisticated European infrastructures for research on arthropod vectors of human and animal diseases. They reflect current good practice across European laboratories with experience of safely handling different mosquito species and the pathogens they transmit. As such, they provide experience-based advice to assess and manage the risks to work safely with mosquitoes and the pathogens they transmit. This document can also form the basis for research with other arthropods, for example, midges, ticks or sandflies, with some modification to reflect specific requirements. specialized Vector biology vector-pathogen interactions guidelines research infrastructures insectaries containment levels EUROPE 052 116 114 117 3 293-307 2022 2047-7724 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010086004 10.1080/20477724.2022.2108639 2047-7724 [F B010086004] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010086004 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/2022-10/010086004.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2022-10-07 2025-02-24 fdi:010086004 fre
