The temperature-dependence of many important mosquito-borne diseases has never been
quantified. These relationships are critical for understanding current distributions and …

Spatial heterogeneity in susceptibility and exposure to parasites is a common source of
confounding variation in disease ecology studies. However, it is not known whether spatial …

The combined region of eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina has a persistently
high risk of pediatric La Crosse virus neuroinvasive disease (LACV-ND). To guide public …

Infection by vector-borne pathogens emerges from the abundances, traits, and interactions
of arthropod vectors, hosts, and pathogens. These physiological and ecological processes …

BACKGROUND The re‐emergence of worldwide concern with arthropod‐borne viruses
(arboviruses) draws increasing attention to their mosquito vectors, particularly Aedes …

Simple Summary More than 50% of the global population now resides in cities. In addition to
large human populations, some cities support large populations of vectors, such as …

Background Mosquito surveys that collect local data on mosquito species' abundances
provide baseline data to help understand potential host-pathogen-mosquito relationships …

Abstract Aedes albopictus (Skuse)(Diptera: Culicidae) is one of the most invasive species
globally, and has led to rapid declines and local extirpations of resident mosquitoes where it …

Background Microclimatic temperatures provide better estimates of vector-borne disease
transmission parameters than standard meteorological temperatures, as the microclimate …

Mathematical and statistical models are critical tools for both understanding how climate can
influence patterns of vector-borne disease transmission, and predicting how climate change …
