New data on distribution of invasive mosquito species in the Europe and in Russia

Abstract

Literature on distribution of invasive mosquito species that are vectors of especially dangerous infections (dengue, Chikungunya, Zika, yellow fever, and Japanese encephalitis) in the Europe and Russia was briefly reviewed. Global warming of the climate as well as an increase in the volume of world trade and the biological characteristics of mosquitoes contribute to the widespread of these species on territories of many countries and continents
