The highest number of cases occur in Bangladesh, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.</p><p>Aedes albopictus - which transmits dengue, chikungunya and Zika viruses - is spreading further north, east and west in Europe, with self-sustaining populations now in 13 EU/EEA countries.</p><p>These are: Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Malta, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, and Spain. It is also present in Belgium, Cyprus, Czechia, the Netherlands and Slovakia, according to the ECDC.</p><div id="mantis-recommender-placeholder"></div><p>The Aedes aegypti mosquito, which carries yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya and Zika viruses, is already established in Cyprus and has the potential to establish itself in other parts of Europe. ECDC said this is concerning due to its significant ability to transmit pathogens and its preference for biting people.</p><p>The Culex pipiens mosquito, responsible for the spread of West Nile virus, is native to Europe and is present throughout the EU. A human case of West Nile virus was reported in Seville, Spain, in March and although ECDC described it as an isolated case, the organisation said it highlights transmission can happen early in the year, likely because of climate conditions.</p><p>ECDC has said enhanced surveillance and early detection remain essential when it comes to disease control.</p></div></div></div> </article><div
