A Disease-Carrying Mosquito Has Landed in the Rocky Mountains Where It Historically Couldn’t Survive - Inside Climate News
The Aedes aegypti mosquito that can carry dengue was thought to be too reliant on a hot and wet climate to survive in the Mountain West. But now, a population is thriving in Western Colorado.

Excited to share our new dengue research with a great international team.
We introduce a framework that integrates different modelling disciplines to i) explain past spatiotemporal dynamics and drivers, and ii) forecast future trajectories, thereby providing diverse insights for decision-makers.
