Global temperature constraints on Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus persistence and competence for dengue virus transmission

Global temperature constraints on Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus persistence and competence for dengue virus transmission

Abstract 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 a...
