Any outbreaks would likely remain localised, she said, but the fear of microcephaly looms large. In the southern United States, where aegypti is common, the threat is even more immediate.
A virus can be introduced to a new region when a local mosquito picks it up from an infected human -- perhaps someone coming back, in the case of Zika, from a holiday in South America. If it lives long enough, an infected female mosquito can then spread the virus while consuming the blood she needs to nourish her eggs. Laboratory tests have shown that albopictus is also -- in the jargon of mosquito experts -- "competent" to carry Zika, and could drive its spread in Europe. "The threat we are facing is that we will see the Zika virus in Europe next summer," said Anna-Bella Failloux, a virologist at the Institut Pasteur, which will co-host the April 25-26 meeting. Here again, climate change could make things worse, experts say. It can accelerate the virus' progression from the gut of the mosquito to its saliva -- a bit of which enters the human bloodstream as the insect draws a meal with its needle-like proboscis. "At warmer temperatures, this time period is shortened, leading to a greater likelihood that transmission will occur before the mosquito dies," said Lyle Petersen, an expert on vector-borne diseases at the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases in Fort Collins, Colorado. Higher temperatures also shorten the time it takes for a mosquito egg to mature into a blood-sucking female. At 28 degrees Celsius (82.4 degrees Fahrenheit), this process happens within nine or 10 days, compared to about two weeks at 25 C (77 F). |
