Impact of temperature on survival, development and longevity of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) in Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Aedes albopictus appears better adapted to lower temperatures, whereas Ae. aegypti is better adapted to higher temperatures. Warmer temperatures accelerate mosquito development but also increased mortality and reduced adult longevity, which could influence their ability to transmit pathogens. These findings highlight the critical role of temperature in mosquito biology and emphasize the potential impact of climate change on dengue transmission dynamics in the future.
