Mosquitoes and the city: effects of urbanization on Aedes albopictus and Culex pipiens captures in southern Spain
Urbanization and land-use changes profoundly affect mosquito ecology, potentially altering species' abundance, seasonal dynamics, and pathogen transmission risk. The invasive mosquito Aedes albopictus has rapidly expanded from Southeast Asia to temperate regions worldwide, including Europe, whe...

| Sumario: | Urbanization and land-use changes profoundly affect mosquito ecology, potentially altering species' abundance, seasonal dynamics, and pathogen transmission risk. The invasive mosquito Aedes albopictus has rapidly expanded from Southeast Asia to temperate regions worldwide, including Europe, where it now coexists with native species such as Culex pipiens. Both are competent vectors of zoonotic pathogens and may respond differently to urban environmental gradients. |
