Summary

Ms. Annick Cousin draws the attention of the Minister of Health and Prevention to the proliferation of mosquitoes and the emergence of new diseases. In recent years, France has witnessed a worrying proliferation of mosquitoes, posing a growing threat to public health nationwide. This increase in mosquito populations is associated with the appearance of new diseases transmitted by these insects, which leads to rethinking strategies for controlling disease vectors. The proliferation of mosquitoes can be attributed to several factors, including climate change, increased trade and travel, and increased resistance of mosquitoes to traditional control methods. At the same time, new diseases transmitted by mosquitoes, such as Zika virus, fever yellow fever or West Nile fever or even dengue fever have appeared or spread to areas that were not previously affected in France. Faced with these public health issues, the question of reauthorizing mosquito control, including the use of pesticides, becomes essential. Pesticides are effective tools for reducing mosquito populations and preventing the spread of serious illnesses. However, it is crucial to note that the use of pesticides must be subject to rigorous regulation and constant monitoring to minimize risks to human health and the environment. The authorization of targeted mosquito control with specific pesticides, when justified by a threat to public health, must be considered with caution. Health authorities must work closely with environmental health experts to assess potential risks and implement responsible treatment protocols. It is imperative that authorities act proactively to combat the proliferation of mosquitoes and the spread of diseases. In this context, a crucial question arises: she asks him if we should not consider the reauthorization of mosquito control, including including the use of pesticides, to protect populations from growing risks.
