Two species of disease-carrying mosquitoes have been identified in the UK, and could spread further due to climate change, scientists have warned.
Research teams from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) discovered Aedes aegypti, also known as the Egyptian mosquito, and Aedes albopictus, also known as the (Asian) tiger or forest mosquito, in surveillance traps set to monitor the presence of non-native species in the UK.
