研究人员发现蚊虫抵达苏格兰北部的岛屿, 研究气候变化中的疾病风险。 Researchers find mosquitoes reaching Scotland's northern isles, studying disease risks amid climate change.

Glasgow大学的一个公民科学项目在700多份报告中发现蚊虫在苏格兰的Shetland以北。 A citizen science project by the University of Glasgow found mosquitoes as far north as Shetland, Scotland, in over 700 reports. 这项研究旨在评估苏格兰在气候变化下蚊虫传播病原体的风险。 The study aims to assess the risk of mosquito-borne pathogens in Scotland under climate change. 蚊子可以在较寒冷的月份存活下来,研究人员正在追踪存在哪些物种以及它们是否携带疾病。 Mosquitoes can survive in colder months and researchers are tracking which species are present and if they could carry diseases. 尽管在苏格兰,蚊虫目前不构成健康风险,但研究人员正在敦促公众继续报告目击情况。 Though mosquitoes do not currently pose a health risk in Scotland, researchers are urging the public to continue reporting sightings.
