Factors Driving the Spread of Mosquitoes

The spread of mosquitoes to new regions is influenced by climate change, which creates favorable conditions for mosquito breeding. Rising temperatures and prolonged rainy seasons allow mosquitoes like Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus to thrive in areas previously unsuitable for their survival. Additionally, global trade, including the transport of goods like used tires and live plants, facilitates the movement of mosquito eggs and larvae across borders.
