Present in France since 2004, the tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) is considered harmful due to its ability to transmit various pathogens responsible for serious illnesses to humans.
It is particularly feared because of its role as a vector for viruses such as dengue, chikungunya and Zika. These illnesses can cause serious symptoms and even long-term complications.
In addition to its ability to transmit diseases, the tiger mosquito is often considered an everyday nuisance due to its bites, which can cause itching and allergic reactions in some people.
Its invasive presence in urban areas increases the risk of diseases spread, as it breeds easily in containers of stagnant water common in urban settings.
Effective management of the tiger mosquito population is therefore essential to mitigate the health risks associated with this species.
The tiger mosquito now colonizes 71 French departments. The General Directorate of Health, which records the presence of this mosquito on the national territory each year, has taken stock of the year 2022.
The establishment of the tiger mosquito is progressing continuously and rapidly.
