Spatiotemporal analysis of mosquito-borne infections and mosquito vectors in mainland Portugal
This study identified areas with high notification rates of imported cases and the presence of competent vectors. Surveillance, control, and awareness efforts are essential, as these areas may present higher risks for local transmission in the future if ecological conditions remain or become suitable, potentially evolving into foci for disease transmission.
