The tiger mosquito continues its colonization

To limit their spread: Store, empty and cover any containers in which water accumulates.

Since 2012, the tiger mosquito has settled in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

In 2023 alone, more than 260 new municipalities were colonized, bringing the total number of eligible municipalities in the region to over a thousand.

Thus, the incidence of diseases transmitted by this mosquito, in particular arboviruses, is increasing.

In 2023, 252 cases were imported into Auvergne Rhône-Alpes.

About fifty procedures were carried out, including two in Haute-Savoie.

A helpful tip to limit their spread is to remove, empty and cover any containers that collect water to neutralize spawning sites.
