Wetterextreme: Invasive Stechmücken nehmen zu

DOI

Extreme weather: invasive mosquitoes on the rise: The man-made climate change represents a global challenge with serious impacts on the quality of life, human health and biodiversity. Mosquitoes deserve special attention due to their threat for humans, particularly through the spread of invasive species such as the Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) and the role of native mosquitoes such as Culex pipiens s.l. as vectors of arboviruses. Climate changes, including temperature increases and extreme rainfalls, are improving the development conditions for mosquitoes and increasing the risk of vector-based pathogen transmissions such as dengue and West Nile viruses. The increased human mobility is faciliating the spread of these pathogens. This dynamic situation requires detailed and comprehensive vigilance to early detect emerging threats and to respond with appropriate countermeasures.
