How worried should we be about the invasive mosquitoes in the UK?

Mosquitoes that can transmit infections like dengue, chikungunya and Zika virus have been found breeding in the UK.

The UK Health Security Agency announced that the species had been detected at residential properties in east London. The fourth time it’s been discovered in the UK in recent years, and the first time it’s been found breeding.

Note many who held such positions for a year or two went on to do a PhD in neuroscience afterwards.

Local folks: What are mosquitoes looking like for you so far this year? I put our mosquito trap buckets out maybe 6 weeks ago. It's also been really dry. I killed a mosquito on myself today for the first time — inside, oddly. Anyway, I don't really remember when the mosquitoes start up anymore. Have any of you noticed mosquitoes yet? Have you noticed a lot, a few, or is it just average so far? 🦟 #DurhamNC #RTP #mosquitoes
