Mosquito-borne diseases in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa) are very impactful on Public Health. Mosquitoes could be vectors of malaria – a real threat in Africa – and dengue, which is gradually becoming one in both Europe and Africa.
In the fight against these dangerous mosquitoes, having efficient tools and methods is now more vital than ever. Discover how we work alongside our partners, providing them with sustainable, digital, innovative and effective solutions to protect people against vector-borne diseases.
Which other pests pose a threat?
Pest infestations are behind a number of health issues in the EMEA region. Vector-borne diseases from mosquitoes are one example. There are also diseases caused by unsanitary conditions which may be due to pest and rodent infestations in houses, and buildings. These pests include flies, cockroaches, ants, rats, etc.
This has prompted serious discussion about the problems of unsanitary conditions and public health in cities, and how to solve them.
Facts and figures
Due to climate change and global warming, these threats to public health are increasing. Growing populations and population density in cities also play a part.
