The ongoing COVID‐19 pandemic is a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of
pathogen spillover from wildlife to human hosts, particularly in densely populated urban …

Droughts have been recorded all across Canada and have had significant impacts on
individuals and communities. With climate change, projections suggest an increasing risk of …

Background Estimates of the geographical distribution of Culex mosquitoes in the Americas
have been limited to state and provincial levels in the United States and Canada and based …

Abstract In North America, the geographic distribution, ecology, and vectorial capacity of a
diverse assemblage of mosquito species belonging to the genus Culex determine patterns …

Urban habitat heterogeneity can modify interactions across species and lead to spatially fine
grained differences in β‐diversity patterns and their associated ecosystem services. Here …

Early warning systems for vector-borne diseases (VBDs) prediction are an ecological
application where data from the interface of several environmental components can be used …

West Nile virus (WNV) is generally considered to be an urban pathogen in the United States,
but studies associating land cover and disease incidence, seroprevalence, or infection rate …

Ticks capable of carrying the bacteria that cause Lyme disease and other pathogens will
show earlier seasonal activity and a generally northward expansion in response to …

It is currently unclear if the potential for West Nile virus transmission by mosquito vectors in
the eastern United States is related to landscape or climate factors or both. We compared …

This study aims to determine the effect of climatic factors (temperature, relative humidity and
rainfall) on mosquito abundance and to map mosquito larva breeding sites using GIS …
