More frequent heatwaves and flooding, longer and hotter summers - all of these factors created more favourable conditions for mosquitos to thrive. Watch our animation, learn more and stay safe!
Prevalence data from sources such as population surveys can be a useful complement to case based surveillance data for hepatitis C. Case-based surveillance has limitations as most diagnosed cases are chronic in nature and detection of cases depends largely on testing practices. Prevalence data can therefore contribute towards a fuller understanding of the epidemiology of hepatitis C.

The Asian Tiger, Asian Bush and Yellow Fever mosquitos have made themselves at home in Europe throughout the last years, bringing with them some of the more exotic diseases, rarely seen in the EU before.
This key provides the non-specialist with reference material to help recognise an invasive mosquito species and gives details on the morphology to help with verification.
