France is taking urgent action to prevent virus-carrying tiger mosquitos from disrupting the upcoming Paris Olympics. The Asian tiger mosquito has spread across northern Europe, including France, over the last two decades. Climate change has facilitated its adaptation to colder climates. The presence of tiger mosquitos poses a serious risk to athletes, as they are known to spread diseases such as dengue, chikungunya, and zika. Efforts to eliminate the mosquito population have been unsuccessful, leading to increased surveillance and the use of various control methods such as repellents, mosquito traps, and DNA modification. Companies like Biogents and Qista are actively involved in combating the tiger mosquito menace.
