Abstract Native to East Asia, the Asian bush mosquito (Aedes japonicus) has recently expanded its global range, with established invasive populations in Europe and North America. Given its potential role as a vector of various arboviruses, understanding its invasion process and ecological dynamics is crucial for managing its spread and mitigating public health risks. In the Iberian Peninsula, the species was first detected in Asturias in 2018 and has since expanded to neighbouring regions.

Abstract Understanding mosquito activity in dense urban areas is essential to assess human exposure to nuisance and health risks. We analyzed real-time mosquito data from four smart traps operating between 2021 and 2024 in Barcelona (NE Spain), focusing on the fine-scale temporal dynamics of two major urban vector species, Aedes albopictus and Culex pipiens.

Abstract Temperature and water availability significantly influence mosquito population dynamics. We've devised a method, integrating experimental data with insights from mosquito and thermal biology, to calculate the basic reproduction number (RM) for urban mosquito species, Ae. albopictus and Ae. aegypti. RM represents the number of female mosquitoes produced by one female during her lifespan, indicating suitability for growth.
