British researchers from the University of Liverpool believe that one hundred global warming will lead to large-scale expansion of the range of mosquitoes, which are the main carriers of tropical diseases.

Experts call on the world community to pay attention to this fact, since it threatens the penetration of mosquitoes, carriers of dengue and chikunguno fever into northern and central Europe. For example, an Asian tiger mosquito has already been spotted by entomologists in France..

Using computerized climate models, scientists tried to suggest how changes in climatic conditions will affect insect distribution areas.. According to the assumptions, the countries of Benelux, Italy, some part of Great Britain and France, as well as the Balkan Peninsula will undergo a large-scale change..

Entomologists believe that an Asian tiger mosquito brought with goods to Europe will actively breed throughout the entire European territory in about 20-30 years.
