Climate predicts geographic and temporal variation in mosquito-borne disease dynamics on two continents

Climate predicts geographic and temporal variation in mosquito-borne disease dynamics on two continents

The effects of climate on vector-borne disease systems are highly context-dependent. Here, the authors incorporate laboratory-measured physiological traits of the mosquito Aedes aegypti into climate-driven mechanistic models to predict number, timing, and duration of outbreaks in Ecuador and Kenya.
