Climate change isn’t just melting glaciers – it’s now bringing tropical mosquitoes to Europe’s doorstep . The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) warns that rising temperatures are helping invasive species like the Aedes albopictus (aka the tiger mosquito ) thrive across the continent.
Once limited to Southeast Asia, these striped health hazards have settled in 13+ European countries including Germany, France, and Croatia. \"Warmer winters and longer summers create perfect breeding conditions,\" the ECDC stated in its Tuesday report.
Why care? These mosquitoes can carry dengue, Zika, and chikungunya – diseases once considered 'tropical' but now knocking on Europe’s door. Travelers and residents alike are urged to remove stagnant water sources and use repellent. Could this become Europe’s next big public health challenge?
