While mosquitoes proliferate, three simple solutions today make it possible to limit their intrusion into houses this summer.
In twenty years, the tiger mosquito has gradually taken possession of the metropolitan territory. This insect, vector of diseases such as dengue or chikungunya, is now installed in 81 French departments. Since January 2025, more than 2,000 cases have been identified by Public Health France, mostly cases imported from Reunion or Mayotte.

It is this scenario that worries the health authorities, because cases imported from dengue and chikungunya are multiplying. In Reunion, the current epidemic has already caused 15 deaths since January, fueling the Transmission risks In France, where the increased presence of the mosquito now promotes the occurrence of indigenous cases.
