Europe this year recorded a record average of mosquitoes transmitted, such as Shikongonia and West Nile virus, a “new reality” imposed by climate change, according to the European Union’s health agency.
Europe is witnessing longer and more severe seasons of mosquitoes transmitted, according to the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control.
He added, “This change is due to climatic and environmental factors, such as high temperatures, longer summer seasons, more moderate winter chapters, and changes in rainfall patterns, which are challenges that meet to prepare a favorable environment for mosquitoes to multiply and transport viruses.”
The center stated that the white -white mosquito, capable of spreading the Sheekonia virus, is currently present in 16 European countries and 369 regions, compared to only 114 regions ten years ago.
Europe has recorded 27 cases of gangguna to this day in 2025, a new record for the continent.
For the first time, one locally transferred injury was reported in Al -Alzas in northeastern France. The agency emphasized that this constitutes an “exceptional event on this cross line in the north, which highlights the continued expansion of the risk of the spread of infection to the north of” the globe.
Between January 1 and August 13, eight European countries recorded 335 local injuries in the West Nile virus and 19 deaths. Italy is the most affected country, as the number of injuries reached 274.
The European Center for Disease Prevention and its Italing urged the inhabitants of the affected areas to protect themselves from mosquitoes using an insect repellent, wear long sleeves and pants, and installation of mosquitoes.
