Abstract

Two species of mosquito carry and transmit Zika virus: Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. This infographic summarizes results of NEVBD-supported research into the affect of rising temperatures on mosquito life span and ability to transmit Zika virus. Information based on manuscript by Onyango et al. 2020. https://doi.org/10.1080/22221751.2019.1707125.
