Critical low temperature for the survival of Aedes aegypti in Taiwan
Results
According to the evaluation of the correlation between estimated nighttime temperatures and the occurrence of
Ae. aegypti, winter had the highest peak phi coefficient, and the corresponding estimated threshold temperatures ranged from 13.7 to 14 °C in the ordinary kriging model, which was the optimal interpolation model in terms of the root mean square error. The mean threshold temperature was determined to be 13.8 °C, which is a critical temperature to limit the occurrence of
Ae. aegypti.
Conclusions
An LST of 13.8 °C was found to be the critical temperature for
Ae. aegypti larvae, which results in the near disappearance of
Ae. aegypti during winter in the subtropical regions of Taiwan under the influence of the prevailing East Asian winter monsoon.
Taiwan is geographically located in a region that spans both tropical and subtropical climates (22–25°N and 120–122°E). The Taiwan Centers for Disease Control have found that the ecological habitat of Aedes aegypti appears only south of 23.5°N. Low ...

Where Malaria Occurs
Temperature is particularly critical. For example, at temperatures below 20°C (68°F),
Plasmodium falciparum (which causes severe malaria) cannot complete its growth cycle in the
Anopheles mosquito, and thus cannot be transmitted.
Education and information on malaria's global distribution specifically information about where transmission occurs.
