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.

If you're a fan of using Mosquito Dunks in buckets to control mosquitoes, please join me in leaving a comment for the patronizing jerks at Saginaw County Mosquito Control Commission, a taxpayer-funded entity. These organizations operate all over the U.S.A. and justify their large budgets (for planes, fogger trucks, etc.) by promoting the use of insecticides even when there is no public-health emergency. #MosquitoDunks #saginaw #saginawbay #michigan #mosquitoes #bti https://www.instagram.com/p/DL5Jm3xODBz/

“For more than 15 years, the World Mosquito Program has worked with Queensland Health to help safeguard the region from diseases like dengue.

The program releases Aedes aegypti (dengue) mosquitoes carrying a naturally occurring bacteria called Wolbachia.

This bacteria is found in more than 50 per cent of all insect species and stops the mosquitoes from transmitting viruses such as dengue and Zika.”

Researchers uncover previously unexplored details of #mosquito’s specialized detection mechanisms
Biologists use cutting-edge imaging technology to probe anatomical adaptations designed to target carbon dioxide emitted by humans

The researchers focused on these features in #AedesAegypti #mosquitoes, which are known to spread #yellowFever, #dengue, #chikungunya and #Zika viruses.

Everyone involved in mosquito control in the United States should know about the Spartan Mosquito Pro Tech, a plastic tube filled with water, sugar, yeast, and boric acid. Here's what the company claims:

"Kills mosquitoes that may carry West Nile Virus, Zika Virus, Dengue Fever, St. Louis encephalitis, Western equine encephalitis, and Eastern equine encephalitis for up to 30 days."

I tried the tubes in my yard and concluded they did not work. My review in case you need details: https://colinpurrington.com/2020/04/spartan-mosquito-pro-tech/
