PUBLICATION: “The effects of urbanization, temperature, and rainfall on Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquito abundance across a broad latitudinal gradient in Central Africa” by Dr Basile Kamgang & al
The global increase in urbanization, especially in Africa, will likely alter vector abundance and pathogen transmission. We investigated the effect of urbanization and weather on the abundance of two Aedes species: Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, and their infection status for dengue, chikungunya, and Zika viruses in six cities spanning a 900 km latitudinal…
