Mosquitoes advance into northern Europe: insect sterilisation in Lisbon and a rise in dengue cases
For the second time, Portugal has released 30,000 irradiated sterile mosquitoes in Lisbon against the Asian tiger mosquito. By the end of October 2026, Italy had reported 76 local dengue cases and France eight — roughly twice as many as a year earlier. The EU is allocating €10 million for diagnostics.
