Until September 2023, Normandy was the last remaining region of the tiger mosquito. Potential insect vectors of viruses such as those of dengue, Zika or chikungunya have finally been seen in Seine-Maritime but do not seem not yet migrating to Calvados and Orne.
However, if you think you have seen a tiger mosquito, report it ! The ARS offers an online platformthe regional health agency to report its presence, support photos, and quickly implement measures to limit its presence.
Mosquito is the easily recognizable tiger
mosquito is a ferocious tiger, he attacks in broad daylight. Which makes it possible to distinguish between it and the traditional mosquito already. The insect is also distinguished by its small size and its black and white stripes on its body.. It also loves stagnant water, small areas: water in a cork or a forgotten child’s toy in the garden is enough to reproduce it. Therefore, it will already help to limit its spread by emptying or covering the litter boxes or water cans. argues the ARS, which knows that the tiger mosquito will inevitably come to Calvados and Orne and seeks to delay it as long as possible.
Describing your presence on the scene, with supporting photographs, will enable a scientific investigation to be launched on the identified sector. If its establishment is confirmed, it will then be necessary to destroy the home and apply treatments against tiger mosquito larvae..
In addition to the nuisance it causes, the mosquito is the tiger potential vector of viruses such as dengue, Zika or chikungunya. So far, no local transmission of disease associated with this mosquito has been observed in Normandy.
