Why is there a major mosquito bloom in San Diego?

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 07:27:02 GMT

SAN DIEGO -- Mosquitoes are the pests that won’t go away after San Diego County experienced the rare tropical storm that left ponds puddles and lakes filled with water. Those standing bodies of water are now turning on a relatively new mosquito to our area called the Aedes Aegypti.

Lufthansa Airlines to expand nonstop flight service from San Diego “They will take advantage any small source of water and even if it is as small as a bottle cap of water, if it’s there for a week or longer it has potential to breed mosquitos,” said Chris Conlan, a senior entomologist at San Diego County Vector control. This mosquito doesn’t travel very far so experts say to walk your property looking for standing water along with clearing out drainage pipes that might pooling water.

Survivors of a deadly migrant shipwreck off Greece file lawsuit over botched rescue claim

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 07:27:02 GMT

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Survivors of a deadly migrant shipwreck in southern Greece three months ago are suing authorities for failing to intervene to rescue passengers before their vessel capsized in international waters, their lawyers said Thursday. Hundreds of migrants are believed to have been trapped and killed when a modified fishing trawler sank south of Greece in mid-June.The Greek coast guard had been shadowing the vessel along a section of its journey from Libya to Italy. Only 104 people were pulled from the sea alive — all men and boys — while 82 bodies, only one of them a woman, were recovered. The rest, including women and children, sank in one of the deepest parts of the Mediterranean. With depths of around 4,000 meters (13,000 feet) in that area, a recovery of the vessel and its victims is all but impossible.Many of the survivors dispute the official account that repeated offers of assistance by the coast guard were rejected and claim that a botched effort was made to to...
