Delayed mortality effects of cold fronts during the winter season on Aedes aegypti in a temperate region

Aedes aegypti in the Mediterranean container ports at the time of climate change: A time bomb on the mosquito vector map of Europe

“…Bioclimatic factors were considered in the selection of the bioclimatic factors according to the following criteria: 1) Ae. aegypti is a cold-sensitive mosquito taxon (Montini et al, 2021); 2) this mosquito also occurs in such dry and hot countries with a relatively notable annual temperature fluctuation that is a common phenomenon in semi-arid environments (Sikka, 1997), e.g., in Eritrea, Djibouti, and Senegal (Khormi and Kumar, 2014); 3) the Black Sea area populations of Ae. aegypti form one of the most northernmost populations of the mosquito, which in fact indicates the importance of the lower temperature limits; The logic of factor selection could be summarized in the way that considering the geographical position of the studied region within the global distribution of the species (as it was mentioned, it belongs to the northernmost ranges of the mosquito), in the case of temperature kind of bioclimatic variables the minimum, in the case of the bioclimatic precipitation values, the maximum values of the bioclimatic extrema were used.…”

City puzzles: Does urban land scape affect genetic population structure in Aedes aegypti?

“…Buenos Aires city is located in a temperate area where Ae . aegypti populations usually pass the winter season in the egg stage [ 61 ] with adults starting to emerge around late September. Genetic structure did not appear to be associated with seasonal variation at least in the single comparison between two successive mosquito generations.…”

In a logical sense, it can be accepted that at the northern range of mosquito species of tropical-subtropical origin, low temperatures and the high precipitation sums due to the cooling effect of notable rainfalls generally could be unfavourable and limiting factors.…”
