Asian Tiger Mosquitoes Overwintering in Belgium

The Asian tiger mosquito has been found overwintering in several Belgian municipalities, including Kessel-Lo, Hoegaarden, and Etterbeek. This poses a significant public health risk as the mosquito is known to transmit diseases like dengue fever and chikungunya. Authorities are urging residents to eliminate standing water to prevent further breeding and expansion of the mosquito population.
