How is climate change impacting the spread and severity of mosquito-borne illnesses in Europe?

The ECDC attributes the rise to a longer and more intense mosquito season, with the Aedes albopictus mosquito spreading to 16 European countries and 369 regions—a tenfold increase in affected regions compared to a decade ago. This expansion is creating conditions for diseases like West Nile virus, previously confined to certain areas, to spread further into new regions, such as parts of Italy and Romania this year.
