The Asian tiger mosquito has also been detected in the occupied territories, the T/C association of biologists announced "although the authorities are trying to hide it".
As reported in the occupied territories, the association identified this species, which is responsible for a number of diseases, following complaints from citizens. It notes that the method used for ordinary mosquitoes is not enough to deal with this species. "In addition to the biological control programme, control strategies specific to invasive mosquitoes should be implemented."
The statement stressed that the "Ministry of Health" and "local governments" should be notified of where these mosquitoes have been seen "since the Asian tiger mosquito is active during the day, it is certainly not good practice to fight by throwing chemicals in the air on the streets at night."
It is noted that according to the WHO, the next pandemic is likely to break out through such mosquitoes.
