Worrysome, I read about someplace that the locals have a mossy problem and they fight it by every few weeks everyone goes out around the neighbourhood looking for stagnant pools of water, natural, in guttering, in old tyres, etc basically anywhere that stagnant water can form and they put a few drops of engine oil onto the water that forms a thin film that the massy larvae cannot poke their air tubes through, thus suffocating the larvae.

Yes, it is "worrisome," as any mosquito borne disease could spread like wildfire if the mosquitos get a toehold. And a number of diseases we thought had been eradicated are now making a comeback in strains that are resistant to antibiotics..."superbugs."

We in the UK have had reports of Malaria mossies being found along the south coast, they blame climate change.

it was thought that mosquitos were breeding on the Somerset Levels because of all the water there, that was when we lived in Somerset over 10 years ago, haven't heard anything since.

That eastern equine encephalitis is super scary. It's super deadly from what I've read. I hope they're working on a vaccine for it or it could cause a serious epidemic if the mosquito population explodes during a wet year.
