VERO BEACH, Fla. – A new mosquito species capable of transmitting disease, Aedes scapularis, has arrived in Florida and shows signs it could survive across multiple urban and rural habitats, posing a potential public health risk.
In a new study from the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS), scientists predict where in Florida environmental conditions may be suitable for this new species to spread, now that it has invaded the Florida peninsula.
This new, nonnative mosquito the team discovered and announced last November can transmit yellow fever virus, Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus, dog heartworm and other pathogens to humans and animals. It has a wide range, from Texas to parts of South America and throughout much of the Caribbean. The species is widespread in Miami-Dade and Broward counties.
