EU Agencies Map Spreading Disease-Carrying Insects
The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have published updated maps showing the expanding presence of disease-carrying insects in Europe. The maps reveal the wider distribution of mosquitoes, ticks, and sandflies capable of transmitting illnesses to humans and animals. This spread is linked to environmental changes creating more favorable conditions for these vectors. The agencies urge increased surveillance and public awareness to prevent outbreaks.
Health alert: Disease-carrying mosquitoes and ticks are spreading further across Europe.
