Bayreuth researchers work interdisciplinarily on the elucidation of the Asian tiger mosquito
2023-06-06
Climate change promotes the settlement of non-native mosquitoes and pathogens in Bavaria. Scientists at the University of Bayreuth are working on an interdisciplinary project to develop a warning system that will provide different behavioural recommendations and protective measures for the population depending on the risk. The focus is on the West Nile virus, which can be transmitted by domestic mosquito species, and the Chikungunya virus, which can be transmitted by the Asian tiger mosquito.https://www.uni-bayreuth.de/en/press-release/tiger-mosquito-education
