How the Asian tiger mosquito could reshape Germany's insect landscape

The mosquito situation in Germany is evolving, particularly with the presence of invasive species such as the Asian tiger mosquito. These mosquitoes thrive in warmer months, especially in April and May, and their populations vary by region.

Doreen Werner highlights the potential for the tiger mosquito to spread in areas like North Rhine-Westphalia, thanks to favorable climate conditions and international travel. While they can transmit the West Nile virus, there have been no recorded cases of human transmission in the region thus far.

This development raises awareness about the importance of monitoring mosquito populations to manage any health risks effectively.
