Invasive mosquito surveillance in the United Kingdom 2020 to 2024
Here, we provide an update on invasive mosquito surveillance activities coordinated by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) between May 2020 and November 2024. Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti are invasive mosquitoes and not currently established in the UK. Both are vectors of various arboviruses including emerging pathogens such as dengue. Therefore, their introduction into the UK poses a threat to public health. In 2024, vector surveillance …
Detection of Exotic Mosquito Species (Diptera
In Europe, the air-borne accidental introduction of exotic mosquito species (EMS) has been demonstrated using mosquito surveillance schemes at Schiphol International Airport (Amsterdam, The Netherlands). Based upon these findings and given the increasing volume of air transport movements per year, the establishment of EMS after introduction via aircraft is being considered a potential risk. Here we present the airport surveillance results perform…
Working towards a Co-Ordinated Approach to Invasive Mosquito Detection, Response and Control in the UK
The United Kingdom (UK) has reported a single detection of the eggs of the invasive mosquito vector Aedes albopictus in each of the three years from 2016 to 2018, all in southeast England. Here, we report the detection of mosquito eggs on three occasions at two sites in London and southeast England in September 2019. Mosquito traps were deployed at 56 sites, in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, as part of a coordinated surveillance …
Assessment of the Public Health Threats Posed by Vector-Borne Disease in the United Kingdom (UK)
In recent years, the known distribution of vector-borne diseases in Europe has changed, with much new information also available now on the status of vectors in the United Kingdom (UK). For example, in 2016, the UK reported their first detection of the non-native mosquito Aedes albopictus , which is a known vector for dengue and chikungunya virus. In 2010, Culex modestus , a principal mosquito vector for West Nile virus was detected in large numb…
