Transmission of West Nile and five other temperate mosquito-borne viruses peaks at temperatures between 23°C and 26°C
The temperature-dependence of many important mosquito-borne diseases has never been quantified. These relationships are critical for understanding current distributions and predicting future shifts from climate change. We used trait-based models to characterize temperature-dependent transmission of...
