Science‑Driven Tools for Mosquito Research and Sustainable Vector Control

Biogents is a science‑driven company dedicated to developing mosquito traps, attractants, and monitoring tools that are used worldwide in mosquito research, surveillance, and operational vector management. Our systems (such as the BG‑Sentinel, BG‑Pro, BG‑GAT, BG‑Counter, and BG‑Mosquitaire) are routinely applied in academic studies, public‑health surveillance programs, and professional mosquito management.

They help researchers and practitioners to monitor population dynamics, detect invasive species, collect specimens for pathogen screening, evaluate interventions, and - crucially - to scale from monitoring into population reduction through mass trapping as part of integrated mosquito management.

The team behind Biogents products is highly dedicated, deeply experienced in mosquito science and field application, and motivated by impact. We combine biological understanding with practical engineering, product development, and customer support. Because even the best ideas only matter if they work outside the lab. By combining passion, diverse cultures, and expertise we continuously improve mosquito surveillance and control, and we support researchers and professionals in their projects.

And our scientific output and field relevance are measurable: Biogents trapping systems are documented in more than 400 scientific publications and are used in over 100 countries, enabling standardized methods across regions, projects, and study designs.

From Fundamental Research to Field Application

The broad scientific and operational adoption of our products is not a coincidence, but a direct consequence of Biogents’ origins in academic research and our long-standing focus on mosquito biology and behaviour. From the eatly beginnings at the University of Regensburg more than 25 years ago, our approach has been to translate fundamental research in chemical ecology, vector–host interactions, and field ecology into practical, standardized tools that work reliably under real field conditions.

As researchers and public‑health users adopted Biogents systems globally, their needs shaped our development continuously. Solutions must be robust, transportable, energy‑efficient, compatible with defined attractants and CO₂ sources, and deliver reproducible performance across climates, habitats, and study designs. This is why Biogents products are designed in close exchange with scientific and operational users, not along purely commercial lines.

Professional Solutions for the Research Community

Today, Biogents employs a range of scientists, engineers, product developers and customer care specialists, many with hands-on experience in academic research, international field studies, and applied vector-control programs.

While Biogents solutions are used by professionals and private consumers, the products offered in this Researcher Shop continue to be designed and validated with professional surveillance and research applications in mind:

  • Standardized tools for comparable results across sites and studies
  • Efficient attractants to support reproducible science
  • Field‑ready designs for long deployments
  • Data collection and monitoring that enable learning loops and optimization

If you are planning a trial, whether surveillance, intervention evaluation, or a mass‑trapping pilot, Biogents aims to be more than a supplier. We aim to be a partner in building evidence‑based, insecticide‑free mosquito control that works in the real world.
