Yellow Fever and Dengue are among the ailments transmitted by various exotic forms of mosquito trapped by Biosecurity officials at the Ports of Auckland.

Earlier on Tuesday, Biosecurity officials discovered two species of the discarded insects during inspection of a cargo vessel from Vanuatu that was docked in Auckland. A day before the discovery, the cargo vessel was in Tauranga.

In the meantime, the Ministry of Health has claimed that it is especially anxious regarding the "Asian Tiger Mosquito" discovered on board that is not recognized in New Zealand and is deemed to be one of the major carriers of dangerous diseases such as Dengue Fever, Yellow Fever, Ross River Virus and Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever.

The other species, dubbed Culex Quinquefasciatus, is believed to spread various life-threatening ailments like the dangerous West Nile virus. Earlier, it was found here but, up till now, New Zealand has not recorded any sort of locally-contracted red, mosquito-borne disorder.

Experts claimed that all the larvae and mosquitoes found on the cargo have been inspected and killed. In addition, the ship has been inspected thoroughly and authorities are full of hopes that almost all insects must have been removed by now.

It urges individuals living in properties near the port to get in touch with MAF on 0800 669 943 or 0800 MOZZIE in case they spot any larval, mosquito insect "wrigglers in pooled water" or even bites for that matter.

Exotic mosquitoes, which are highly competent in spreading ailments at a faster rate in comparison with the majority of mosquito-borne diseases, have been identified on a cargo vessel docked in Tauranga and Auckland.

As part of a precautionary intimidation, people residing near the ports of Tauranga and Auckland have been given words of caution for maintaining strict vigilance regarding the two dangerous species of mosquito that were recognized during an official visit on the cargo vessel.
