Monitoring of Exotic Mosquitoes in Belgium
Due to globalization (trade and tourism) and global warming, mosquito species are transported, spreading, getting introduced and eventually becoming established in new territories. Novel introductions and establishments of exotic mosquito species (EMS) in Belgium are expected to occur, based on interception data and suitability models developed for some invasive species in Europe. Moreover, the introduction of potential disease vector species constitutes a threat to human and animal health.
