These findings raise questions regarding the evolution and drivers of such an atypical Culex behavior and indicate that our understanding of Culex ecology and behavior remains incomplete.

“more than half of all provinces or islands studied had dengue outbreaks about every 12 months, with strong synchrony observed. In addition, increased dengue incidence was associated with strong seasonality of occurrence, and changes in temperature and precipitation”

Synchronized dynamics of dengue across the Americas
Dengue has strong synchrony across the Americas, indicating that a mix of intrinsic and extrinsic factors drives epidemic transmission dynamics.
