Oil palm expansion increases the vectorial capacity of dengue vectors in Malaysian Borneo
N. Gregory, R. M. Ewers, A. Y. C. Chung, L. J. Cator
This study shows that oil palm plantations in Malaysian Borneo increase dengue vectorial capacity by 150% compared to forests due to higher adult mosquito abundance despite similar temperature-dependent trait estimates.
