The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) has warned British holidaymakers about the growing threat of mosquito-borne diseases in Europe.

Diseases of concern include dengue fever and West Nile virus.

The rise in cases is linked to climate change, which creates ideal conditions for invasive mosquito species such as the tiger mosquito.

There has been a surge in imported cases of dengue in France, particularly from the French Caribbean islands.

The ECDC emphasizes the importance of preventive measures like using mosquito nets and insecticides.

Coordinated efforts are necessary to control the increasing threat of mosquito-borne diseases in Europe.
