Mosquitoes that carry West Nile are becoming resistant to insecticides, CDC says

NBC News got rare access to the federal health agency's insect lab in Colorado where scientists study the spread of mosquitoes and the illnesses they carry.

"At CDC's insect lab located in Fort Collins, Colorado — home to tens of thousands of mosquitoes — Connelly's team has found that Culex mosquitoes are living longer when they're exposed to insecticides."

📌 I cambiamenti degli ecosistemi…sono in grado di influenzare molteplici vie di trasmissione delle malattie infettive, aumentando il rischio di nuove epidemie in tutto il pianeta e modificando l’ epidemiologia di alcune malattie infettive

Heart-stopping moment for a second as West Nile Virus confirmed in a #UK #horse today. Thankfully likely an imported case but surely only a matter of time before we acquire our own cases due to #ClimateChange. The prospect of being the vet that misses this keeps me awake at night - especially with horses being a sentinel species for human infection. #OneHealth #Veterinary #VetMed #epidemiology #virology #wnv #westnile
