Health warming: Boom of tiger mosquitoes in Spain sparks deadly virus fears

This means that arround 70 municipalities in Spain are now home of mosquitos which carry the dengue, zika and chikungunya viruses.

Although the viruses are not usually fatal, they can lead to deadly symptoms

The research shows the mosquitos are spreading in locations where there is too much human activity – such as Seville.

The insects look for water where they can lay eggs that are hatching with the flies taking to the air in the spring.

Mosquito numbers are usually kept under control by damselflies and dragonflies which are feed on their larvae or eggs.

However, these predators are scarce this year because the extreme cold weather destroys their eggs.

The insect bite prevention expert, Howard Carter said that lBritain could be facing a mosquito outbreak in a not so far future”. Maybe this 2019 you could see some of these strange mosquitoes in England.
