Question 15323 — animals

Summary

Mrs Bénédicte Auzanot questions the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities, on the very worrying proliferation of the tiger mosquito (aedes albopictus) in the Vaucluse department. Now permanently established throughout the Vaucluse territory, this insect represents not only a growing nuisance for residents, but also a real health risk due to transmission. possible diseases such as dengue, chikungunya or the Zika virus. In particularly exposed areas such as Cavaillon, the Luberon, Avignon and the Rhône valley, residents are seeing a continued extension of the tiger mosquito's activity period, an increase in observed densities and a multiplication of episodes of severe nuisance, including during the day. The combined effects of global warming, diffuse urbanization and rainy episodes further accentuate this situation. While prevention campaigns and targeted mosquito control operations carried out by health agencies are useful, many local elected officials and residents believe that the resources involved remain insufficient given the scale of the phenomenon. In this context, the Member wishes to know what additional measures the Government intends to implement is working to strengthen the fight against the tiger mosquito in Vaucluse and in particular whether additional human and financial resources will be allocated to regional health agencies and mosquito control operators. Finally, she asks him if a strengthening of treatment and surveillance campaigns is planned in the most affected areas and when.
