A new species of mosquitoes potentially carrying West Nime virus found in Finland
www.helsinki.fi A new species of mosquitoes found in Finland – official count of species now at 44 | University of Helsinki
The mosquito species Culex modestus has been found in Finland for the first time. In Southern Europe it is known to spread West Nile virus, but it is highly unlikely for the disease to occur in Finland.
Even though they probably don't cause illness this far north, this is worrying.
