Global temperature constraints on Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus persistence and competence for dengue virus transmission
1 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Dengue is a disease that has undergone significant expansion over the past hundred years. Understanding what factors limit the distribution of transmission can be used to predict current and future limits to further dengue expansion. While not the only factor, temperature plays an important role in defining these limits. Previous attempts to analyse the effect of temperature on the geographic...
