The paper finds that bird functional dispersion predicts dengue vector presence in Costa Rican landscapes, outperforming other predictors.

This study assesses the vector competence of North American Culex mosquitoes for the JEV Nakayama strain across temperatures, finding low but non-zero transmission potential with Cx. pipiens as the most permissive species.

The paper examines how WNV infection and temperature interact to affect mosquito traits and transmission potential, finding infection alters thermal performance and reduces estimated transmission intensity.

This study finds that climate change has lengthened the West Nile virus transmission season in New York State by 19.7 days over 25 years and 29.6 days over 45 years, increasing disease risk.

The paper shows that rising temperatures correlate with increased West Nile virus genetic diversity and transmission potential in mosquitoes.
