London's Tropical Invaders: A Warning Sign in a Warming World The discovery of breeding Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in east London is a harbinger of a far larger problem.

The UK Health Security Agency warns that we can expect more "incursions" of invasive mosquitoes, which poses not just a public health concern but also highlights the unintended consequences of climate change.
