- Global expansion and redistribution of Aedes-borne virus transmission risk with climate change (2017, background): “The optimal temperature for malaria transmission has recently been 82 demonstrated to be much lower than previously expected [13], likely leading to net decreases in 83 optimal habitat at continental scales in the coming decades [12].”
- Thermal biology of mosquito-borne disease (2019, background): “However, climate warming is more likely to shift or contract the geographic and seasonal ranges of diseases with lower thermal optima and upper limits, including malaria and West Nile virus (Mordecai et al. 2013; Johnson et al. 2015; Ryan et al. 2015, 2019; Shocket et al. 2019).”
- Detecting the impact of temperature on transmission of Zika, dengue, and chikungunya using mechanistic models (2017, methodology): “Survival, feeding, development, and reproductive rates predictably respond to temperature across a variety of ectotherms, including mosquitoes [11,12].”
