Several outbreaks of chikungunya and dengue occurred on Mediterranean coasts during the hot season in the last two decades. was the vector involved in all the events. As a consequence of climate change, the 'Tiger' mosquito is now spreading through central Europe, and in the summer of 2023, for the first time, mosquito control measures were implemented in Paris to prevent autochthonous transmission of dengue.
