The Asian tiger mosquito has not spread any further for the time being after being found in Dresden's Neustadt district. The insect with the high-contrast black and white pattern was not detected in the traps in the wider area around the site where it was found, according to the state capital. The occurrence is therefore currently still locally limited.
However, the experts found animals during inspections of the tiger mosquito traps in the Outer New Town. There were also sightings and findings outside the traps. Fortunately, there has not been a sharp increase, they said. In addition to the recent relatively low temperatures, this is also due to the increased awareness of residents and the removal of potential breeding sites in the surrounding area.
