Climate change is allowing Aedes mosquitoes — and diseases they spread — to move into new areas and go gangbusters in places where they’re established.

Aedes aegypti mosquitoes were first detected in California about a decade ago.

Although the black-and-white striped Aedes aegypti can’t fly far — just about 150 to 200 yards — they manage to get around.

One agency serving a large swath of Los Angeles County found a nearly 82% reduction in its invasive Aedes aegypti mosquito population in its release area in Sunland-Tujunga last year compared with a control area.

Surging dengue abroad and the widespread presence of Aedes mosquitoes at home is “creating this perfect recipe for local transmission in our region,” said Dr. Aiman Halai, director of the vector-borne disease unit at the L.A.
