Two invasions at once: update on the introduction of the invasive species Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus in Cyprus - a call for action in Europe. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes are expanding their range in Europe, raising concerns for mosquito-borne diseases, especially in Cyprus.
  • Recent findings include the detection of these species near key locations such as Larnaka airport and Limassol marina, prompting a series of emergency response measures.
  • The response includes communication with health authorities, on-site expert verification, active surveillance, and the creation of action and contingency plans to limit mosquito spread, which may serve as a model for other regions in Europe.

Article Abstract

Aedes aegypti, the yellow fever mosquito and Aedes albopictus, the tiger mosquito, continue to expand their geographical distribution, reshaping the European epidemiological risks for mosquito-borne diseases. The reintroduction of Aedes aegypti near the airport and port in Larnaka and the detection of Aedes albopictus near the marina and old port of the Limassol area in Cyprus are reported herein. The measures taken to investigate these events included (i) communication to health authorities, (ii) expert on-site visits and verification of findings, (iii) enhanced active surveillance, and (iv) development of an Emergency Action Plan followed by a Contingency Plan. These emergency action plans were developed to delimitate the infested areas and to prevent the spreading of the mosquito populations into new areas. The general principles are presented along with their rationale to serve as guidelines for other geographical regions targeting suppression/eradication with a sterile insect technique component. In parallel, this manuscript serves as a call for action at the European level to impede the further spread of these species and support the activities being undertaken in Cyprus to combat the incursions of Aedes invasive species.
