La Plata and its periphery became the provincial capital of the mosquito. The municipality of La Plata confirmed through researchers that the invasion corresponds, as in other places, to the so-called " flood mosquitoes" whose species is Aedes albifasciatus.
Long weekend rains caused water accumulation in different places and the larvae that hatched there (approximately 7-10 days ago) generated this new invasion. "Larvae that survived last year's drought and those that were raised a little over a month ago" are one of the hypotheses.
