Warmer conditions are making the UK a more attractive place for disease-carrying mosquitoes, according to a new study.
Researchers writing in The Lancet Infectious Diseases journal say warmer temperatures in the UK provide more hospitable conditions for the Asian tiger mosquito or Aedes albopictus, which can carry deadly viruses that cause dengue fever and Chikungunya fever, according to a BBC report.
There are already 34 recorded species of mosquito in the UK, but currently they are not know to transmit infections, however there are varieties that can transmit West Nile, but there have been no human cases.
