Thermal fertility limits reveal underestimated climatic suitability for Aedes aegypti in temperate regions

Amirah Haziqah-Rashid, Soeren Metelmann, Kinga Stobierska, Katherine Gawne, Huilan Yu, Ken Sherlock, Matthew Baylis, Ewa Chrostek, Marcus S. C. Blagrove

This study shows that thermal fertility limits in Aedes aegypti are more restrictive than lethal temperature limits, affecting climatic suitability predictions for mosquito distribution and disease risk.

Impact of temperature on vector competence of Culex pipiens molestus: implications for Usutu virus transmission in temperate regions

Nicola Seechurn, Jack Pilgrim, Ken Sherlock, Jolanta Tanianis-Hughes, Marcus S. C. Blagrove, Grant L. Hughes, Jolyon M. Medlock, Nicholas Johnson, Matthew Baylis

This study shows that Culex pipiens molestus mosquitoes can transmit Usutu virus at 22°C, with higher viral loads and transmission rates compared to lower temperatures.
