Disease-carrying mosquitoes could be established in London by mid-century, experts warn

Mosquitoes which spread dengue, Zika and yellow fever viruses could be established in London by the middle of the century, experts have warned.

A team of researchers from the UK, US and Israel have found that London could become hospitable to the Aedes aegypti, dubbed the “yellow fever mosquito”, for up to four months of the year by 2060, because of climate change.
