In the 1970s, a new breed of mosquito was successfully introduced to the mainland, and its body was black and white. When this thing comes to you to play, it doesn't come with a greeting. And when you react to a mosquito biting you, you can't find the mosquito, and you see a big bag bulging up, itching.
This mosquito is Chinese known as the flower mosquito. And in the scientific name is called: Aedes albopictus. And because the pattern on its body is a bit similar to the pattern of the tiger (I personally think their temper is similar), it is also known as: the Asian tiger mosquito.
This kind of mosquito, this thing comes to you to play, without greeting. And when you react to a mosquito biting you, you can't find the mosquito, and you see a big bag bulging up, itching.
For example, I have a friend named Zhang San, he told him that the last time he saw a bunch of old men and women in that square dancing happily, he felt a little surprised, you said that this usually did not see the old man dancing with the old lady, and this music did not play anywhere. So he went over and looked, hey, guess what?
My friend Zhang San also danced with him, but the dance posture was not very beautiful, that is, his hands kept clapping his feet, and his feet kept stomping on the ground.
If you ask him, what's wrong.
It turned out that there were a lot of flower mosquitoes gathered in that place.
That thing is really, it sticks to you and bites.
The point is, you can't find its place yet.
Why, when it flies around, it doesn't make a sound. Speaking of which, it is still good for our native mosquitoes.
At least, when you come to this blood sucking, I will say hello to you and let you shoot it quickly, this little cute is really sensible.
But this flower mosquito, the main reason why people hate, I personally
It's this stuff that's everywhere looking for you to play with.
You're wearing clothes, hey, it can actually put its mouthpiece into the skin through the clothes and suck blood.
You take a nap during the day, hey, it really jumps out and bites you during the day.
This flower mosquito really does not rest during the day and does not sleep at night. Take a bite of it, the bag is big and swollen, and it's itchy and painful.
To give you a few, netizens think about it.
Netizen A: This mosquito thief poison, before in Baoding was bitten, swollen up half of the arms are swollen, there are people who are bitten on the blisters, festering kind.
Netizen B: Guangxi Yulin Now there are a lot of patterns in the summer, but it is not the black and white grid that I saw before, but a smaller, shiny black and white grid mosquito. Less than 1 second after falling on the hand, he was immediately bitten and directly saw that the blood was really fierce. Unlike the stupid mosquitoes that used to be, it took half a day to catch and start biting when they fell into their hands.
Netizen C: I also noticed that this mosquito is very invisible, flies particularly fast, and is very toxic!
As mentioned earlier, this mosquito is not natively produced, but was introduced to the mainland in the seventies of the last century, saying that the introduction is a bit wrong, so let's change it to smuggling.
Its ancestors have lived in the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia for eighteen generations, and with the continuous development of foreign trade, the exchanges between countries have continued, and various types of stowaways have also accompanied this international exchange of species.
Around the middle and late of the last century, the male flower mosquitoes who had been fighting all their lives were finally shot to death with their ambition to dominate the earth, and his wife, a female flower mosquito, was so sad that she took their remains and embarked on a freighter to the world. It lays its eggs on the cargo and then waits quietly to reach its destination.
Don't all mosquito eggs go down in the water, you might ask?
(For example, you may have the crystallization of mosquito love in the water cup that did not cover the lid last night)
You can rest assured that the flower mosquito species is really tough. Their eggs are not only resistant to drying, but also very resistant to freezing, and the environment is so harsh that native mosquitoes can't survive
We can still live well.
As long as there is water, these eggs will begin to develop and grow, so one flower mosquito after another is born. With their father's legacy, they crossed the mountains, rivers and seas, crossed the sea of people, and began to multiply around the world.
Latest data from France for May:
Aedes albopictus made its arrival in France in 2004 and is now increasingly adapted to the French climate. According to a report by the French National Agency for Food, Environment and Labour Health, tiger mosquitoes have been found in 67 french provinces and have spread as temperatures rise. Elsa Quelleri, coordinator of the agency, said that tiger mosquitoes continue to spread to the northern part of France, becoming more and more dense around the Paris region, the Rhône Valley and the Atlantic coast.
In the mainland, from Hainan Island in the south, to the south of Liaoning in the north, and to Baoji in Shaanxi in the west, it has left its notoriety. I won't go into the details, but you should have felt it. I haven't felt easy to do, you can go to find that kind of weed pile, the effect of a little damp is better, the time point is best in the evening, believe me you stay there for a while, then haha.
Flower mosquitoes were first spotted in Africa in 1990 and became widespread the following year.
In 2006, flower mosquitoes took root in Australia and New Zealand, making chickens and dogs restless.
Now, their father's legacy is almost fulfilled.
Now, there are flower mosquitoes in the east to the United States, south to Australia and New Zealand, west to Africa, and north to northeast China. In 2008, the flower mosquito was awarded the title of "one of the 100 most serious invasive species in the world".
Seeing this, I'm sure you haven't yet learned how powerful it really is.
Data from the first degree lady:
Aedes albopictus is the second largest vector of dengue, second only to the Aedes aegypti mosquito, and experiments have shown that Aedes albopictus can transmit 7 kinds of alphavirus, 8 kinds of bunia virus, 3 kinds of flaviviruses, and can transmit dengue fever and the above 3 flaviviruses through eggs.
By the way, as far as I know, in Fujian, Sichuan and other provinces in China, people think that Aedes albopictus is associated with the spread of Japanese encephalitis.
This is not enough, when it sucks the blood with the virus, the virus will proliferate in its body, and then bite and spread directly. And it carries and spreads the virus for life, and passes the virus on to future generations, and the offspring bite people, and the virus spreads.
Indeed, children and grandchildren, the calamities are endless also!
However, rest assured that it cannot transmit the following viruses, such as HIV and Ebola. For the current novel coronavirus, there is also no evidence that it can be transmitted by mosquitoes.
