The Drying Plain: If invasive mosquitos take over 3/6

The Asian tiger mosquito appeared in Europe in the 1970s due to increasing global commercial exchanges.


This invasive mosquito species now has stable populations in Hungary, where it is finding an increasingly hospitable environment thanks to global warming.


Invasive insect species are not only an annoyance and a threat to our health, but also cause damage to agriculture when they appear in large numbers in a new area.


The spread of invasive pests is facilitated not only by globalisation and climate change, but also by the drastic decline of natural habitats.
