Aedes aegypti is the urban vector of dengue viruses worldwide. While climate influences the geographical distribution of this mosquito species, other factors also determine the suitability of the physical environment. Importantly, the close association of A. aegypti with humans and the domestic environment allows this species to persist in regions that may otherwise be unsuitable based on climatic factors alone. We highlight the need to incorporate the impact of the urban environment in attempts to model the potential distribution of A. aegypti and we briefly discuss the potential for future technology to aid management and control of this widespread vector species.
埃及伊蚊是全球登革热病毒的城市传播媒介。虽然气候会影响这种蚊子的地理分布，但其他因素也决定了物理环境的适宜性。重要的是，埃及伊蚊与人类和家庭环境的密切关系使该物种能够在仅根据气候因素可能不适宜的地区生存。我们强调需要将城市环境的影响纳入模型，以尝试模拟埃及伊蚊的潜在分布，并简要讨论未来技术在协助管理和控制这种广泛传播的媒介物种方面的潜力。
