Tiger Mosquitoes Are Invading Europe
The tiger mosquito is not just any mosquito. It is highly adaptable, capable of breeding in both natural and artificial water containers. And unlike many other mosquito species, it is active during the day. Additionally, its eggs can survive frost, enabling it to establish itself in cooler climates.
Chikungunya virus can cause large epidemic outbreaks with high attack rates, affecting one-third to three-quarters of naive (not previously infected) human populations with the potential to cause heavy burdens on healthcare systems. Most people recover, although 30 to 40 percent of those affected develop chronic arthritis. Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is transmitted to humans via the bites of infected female mosquitoes, most commonly Aedes species mosquitoes. These species can also transmit other viruses, including dengue and Zika viruses.
