Changes in the recent habitat suitability of Euro-Mediterranean Anopheles species due to land-use and climate

Abstract

Between 2000 and 2020, rising temperatures were the main driver of changes in the habitat suitability of Anopheles mosquitoes in the Euro-Mediterranean region, with land-use changes having a relatively minor impact. In particular, regions to the north of the respective distribution area were found to be characterized by an increasing habitat suitability, while regions to the south showed decreasing trends. These trends may also impact the risk of local malaria transmission in these regions.
