Assessment of the monthly risk of dirofilariosis infection in Europe and its projection to 2100 under climate change from a One Health perspective
The combined use of habitat suitability for Culex pipiens and Aedes albopictus and the number of Dirofilaria spp. generations allowed the development of a more comprehensive color-coded dirofilariosis infection risk map than previously available. Monthly infection risk maps across Europe could help guide targeted prevention and control measures, disrupt disease establishment in specific areas and seasons, and raise awareness about infection risks in both animals and humans.
