Potential global distribution of the invasive mosquito 'Aedes koreicus' under a changing climate

Invasive alien species are a growing threat to natural systems, the economy, and human health. Active surveillance and responses that readily suppress newly established colonies are effective actions to mitigate the noxious consequences of biological invasions. 'Aedes (Hulecoeteomyia) koreicus...

Summary:Invasive alien species are a growing threat to natural systems, the economy, and human health. Active surveillance and responses that readily suppress newly established colonies are effective actions to mitigate the noxious consequences of biological invasions. 'Aedes (Hulecoeteomyia) koreicus (Edwards)', a mosquito species native to East Asia, has spread to parts of Europe and Central Asia since 2008. In the last decade, 'Ae. koreicus' has been shown to be a competent vector for chikungunya virus and Dirofilaria immitis. However, information about the current and potential distribution of 'Ae. koreicus' is limited. Therefore, to understand the changes in their global distribution and to contribute to the monitoring and control of 'Ae. koreicus', in this study, the MaxEnt model was used to predict and analyze the current suitable distribution area of 'Ae. koreicus' in the world to provide effective information.
