The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) says Aedes aegypti mosquitoes have been found at homes in east London, prompting a public health warning.
Aedes aegypti is the mosquito species that can transmit Zika. The outlet also notes that the same species can carry other viruses, including dengue and chikungunya. The reporting frames the discovery as a signal to be alert to mosquito presence and related health risks, based on the species identified.
Both accounts describe the same UKHSA finding and location, with no additional reported details on numbers of sites, residents affected, or follow-up measures beyond the warning.
