The high temperatures recorded in European countries during the spring and summer months contribute to the breeding of mosquitoes on the continent.
Aedes mosquitoes, carriers of viral diseases such as dengue, Zika and chikungunya, have become common in southern Europe. This was announced on Wednesday, April 5 by AFR, citing a statement from the World Health Organization (WHO).
The organization noted that the spread of the insects is being helped by climate change, especially rising temperatures on the European continent.
WHO warns that the population of Spain, France, Italy, Greece or Croatia is at risk.
WHO experts point out that unlike malaria-carrying mosquitoes that are dangerous at night, Aedes mosquitoes prey on humans during the day.
“Since these mosquitoes can attack many people in one day, this contributes to the occurrence of outbreaks in areas with high population density,” experts said.
Currently, there is no vaccine against any of the three mosquito-borne diseases mentioned. However, WHO experts believe that such vaccines can be obtained if research is intensified.
British scientists have developed a new malaria vaccine that they believe could reduce deaths by 70% by 2030.
Recall that the permanent representative of the Russian Federation at the UN ensures that Washington transfers drones with mosquitoes to Kyiv, which carry diseases dangerous for Russian soldiers.
