Article Synopsis
- The emergence of West Nile and Usutu viruses in Europe is a public health concern, as there are no effective antiviral treatments or vaccines available.
- Controlling the diseases primarily relies on targeting Culex mosquitoes, but insecticide resistance is a growing issue due to consistent exposure to these chemicals.
- A study in Leuven, Belgium found mutations linked to insecticide resistance in Culex pipiens and Culex modestus mosquitoes, emphasizing the need for ongoing mosquito surveillance to improve outbreak control strategies.
