The mosquito is an important role in the spread of disease and jeopardises the health and economy of entire regions. Qista allows a large-scale mosquito control solution that is both efficient and ecological.
Epidemics with health and economic consequences for entire countries.
Around the world, many infectious diseases are transmitted to humans and animals through simple mosquito bites. They represent a real danger to the health of whole populations and the development of the affected countries. The solutions are costly, sometimes pollute the environment and add to global warming which only increases the associated health risks.
Qista has developed a large-scale mosquito control solution that is environmentally friendly in order to effectively control mosquitoes, regardless of where in the world and size of the area to be treated.
Qista's mosquito control solution protects people from epidemics without harming humans and ecosystems.

Responsible for pandemics, the mosquito is present in 5 continents and affects the living spaces of more than half of the world's population.
In many countries, the mosquito is synonymous with the spread of deadly diseases and considerable financial expenses for the treatment of the sick. The mosquito alone causes hundreds of thousands of deaths every year. According to the WHO, there are 390 million cases of dengue each year.
The WHO recommends that vector control strategies are put in place to prevent or reduce the transmission of these diseases.
The elimination of mosquitos in larval or adult (curative) control with insecticides significantly reduces the number of individuals at risk of transmitting diseases. But these treatments are not without consequences: some products are toxic to humans or animals, others pollute and degrade ecosystems. The very targeting of these products is called into question because they would destroy larvae of other harmless species. But today, the mosquito would also show resistance to certain classes of insecticides, making them progressively ineffective .
In addition to the risks to human and animal health and the damage to ecosystems, these chemical fights against the mosquito can be very costly and not always sustainable.

Throughout the world, the mosquito is the cause of viral or parasitic diseases. And although these diseases mainly concern cases of transmissions from humans to humans via the mosquito, some can also be transmitted from animals to humans or vice versa, always by the same vector (the mosquito).
According to a study published in 2016 in the British medical journal The Lancet, the total annual cost of dengue fever is almost 8 billion euros.
The main diseases studied were:
In addition to mosquito control in residential areas, particular attention could be paid to the control of mosquitoes near to healthcare facilities to prevent the spread of mosquito transmissible diseases.
Qista is doubly responsive to WHO's health problems and vector control recommendations:
With Qista: drop from 91.2 to 10.2 bites per hour *
That is 88% less nuisance.

The mosquito, including the tiger mosquito (Aedes Albopictus ), is the insect that transmits the most diseases on the planet.
Foundations and the largest organisations are working on a health plan which have the mosquito at the centre. And for good reason! The diseases it carries are present in more than 2/3 of the countries in the world and are the cause of fatal epidemics, with serious economic consequences.
Everyone involved in the fight against mosquitoes agree on the need to carry out sustained and prolonged efforts to limit the epidemic crises: point solutions (fumigation, mosquito nets, repellents etc) will not suffice.
Despite the WHO's policy recommendations and control programs on 5 continents, the mosquito continues to proliferate and is increasingly resistant to the insecticides used.
The presence of the mosquito on the planet could be considered a mere inconvenience to comfort in some regions if it was not also a real nuisance to agroeconomic development.
The proliferation of the mosquito presents three major economic problems:
In his book “Combating mosquito nuisance and disease vectors ”, Frédéric Darriet, a medical entomologist at the Institute for Research for Development, explains that the mosquito/ disease/ man association is a real problem for humanity and impacts the economic development of the affected areas: :
"Diseases have always had a negative impact on the economic activities of a region. A sick man can no longer cultivate his field or simply go to his place of work. It creates a human suffering which affects the family’s income which itself, conditions the food ration, the hygiene and the comfort of every day.
This situation, when prolonged, leads to a weakening of the family unit or of the entire village community."
At a country level, it is easy to imagine that the transmission of vector-borne diseases by mosquitoes is a real decline of the productive forces and greatly hinders the development of urban and agricultural areas
The Qista solution is part of a committed agro-economic and ecological approach:
According to the High Council of Biotechnologies, June 2017 , “ losses of points of economic growth (1 to 3 points per year) are attributable to diseases caused by mosquitoes. ”
The ecological fight against mosquitoes by Qista is therefore an economic investment generating growth.
Patented, environmentally friendly and sustainable mosquito control solution.
Qista mosquito control traps simulate human presence to attract and trap mosquitoes. Each trap can cover a range of up to 60 metres (ie an area of about 1 hectare) and it is possible to protect very large spaces using a number of traps.
Qista allows health organisations to reduce mosquitoes in large areas without impacting ecosystems and that is safe for humans.
To create protective barriers and repel the mosquitoes around a city or farm, the traps can be installed at regular intervals between the area to be protected and the breeding area of mosquitoes.
This large-scale control of mosquitoes allows for a significant reduction in the rate of mosquito bites: -88% according to the study carried out in 2015 by the Ecosystems department of the Research Center of Tour du Valat. The considerable reduction in the number of mosquito bites reduces the transmission of diseases.
Our experts are available for a personalised presentation and can help you design a large-scale mosquito control project for anywhere in the world.
Invité par le MEDEF et Business France, Qista a eu l’occasion de se rendre à Bamako afin d’échanger sur les opportunités d'investissement qui s’ouvrent au Mali. Lors de la conférence de presse donnée à la Primature du Mali, nous avons pu exprimer avec fierté notre volonté d’apporter notre technologie dans ce pays.
