Seasonality modeling of the distribution of Aedes albopictus in China based on climatic and environmental suitability

ConclusionsClimate and environmental conditions are key factors influencing the seasonal distribution ofAe. albopictus in China. The areas predicted to potentially hostAe. albopictus seasonally in the present study could reach northeastern China and the eastern slope of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Our results present new evidence and suggest the expansion of systematic vector population monitoring activities and regular re-assessment of epidemic risk potential.
