Impact of Temperature on Dengue Virus Transmission by Aedes aegypti in New Caledonia

Key Points

• Dengue virus transmission increases with rising temperatures, impacting public health in tropical regions.
• Aedes aegypti mosquitos, the primary vectors, show higher infection rates with small temperature increases.
• Observational analysis of dengue virus behavior under varying temperature conditions over several months.
• Findings highlight the need for climate-adaptive strategies to manage dengue outbreaks effectively.
