The Drying Plain: If invasive mosquitos take over 3/6

The Asian tiger mosquito appeared in Europe in the 1970s due to increasing global commercial exchanges. This invasive mosquito species now has stable populations in Hungary, where it is finding an increasingly hospitable environment thanks to global warming.Invasive insect species are not only an annoyance and a threat to our health, but also cause damage to agriculture when they appear in large numbers in a new area.The spread of invasive pests is facilitated not only by globalisation and climate change, but also by the drastic decline of natural habitats.This podcast is part of WePod, a collaborative project funded by the European Commission's Creative Europe programme.Hosting and narration: Alexander Damiano Ricci.Journalistic research, fieldwork, interviews and original scripts: András Tóth.Editing of scripts: András Tóth, Gergely Nagy, Alexander Damiano Ricci.Original sound track and sound editing: Dominik Tar.Sound editing of the English version: Alexander Damiano Ricci.Original cover artwork by Qubit.Adaptation of the cover artwork for the English version: Watermelon collective.Producers: András Tóth.Executive producer: Ana Ribera.Editorial and production coordination: Alexander Damiano Ricci.This co-production was supported by the European Union.
