The agency of health security launched a national campaign of fight against the tiger mosquito. The insect, which is distinguished from other mosquitoes by its small size and its black and white stripes, is proliferating in France in recent years. 58 departments are classified in vigilance red, according to a map published by the site, Vigilance Mosquitoes. The Indre and the Cher are part of these departments in the red. This means that the tiger mosquito is active and that it is implanted in Berry.
