Temperature influences the development-related phenotypes of Philippine Aedes albopictus: implications for vector control

Temperature influences the development-related phenotypes of Ae. albopictus. F1 eggs can withstand extreme temperatures, hence are public health threats amidst global warming. Both Ae. albopictus and Ae. aegypti should be included in all-year round vector control strategies against Aedes-borne diseases in the tropics. It is recommended to install water pipelines in the rural mountains to prevent mosquito breeding sites.
