Data documenting the potential distribution of Aedes aegypti in the center of Veracruz, Mexico

Abstract

The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled “Establishment of Aedes aegypti (L.) in mountainous regions in Mexico: Increasing number of population at risk of mosquito-borne disease and future climate conditions” (M. Equihua, S. Ibáñez-Bernal, G. Benítez, I. Estrada-Contreras, C.A. Sandoval-Ruiz, F.S. Mendoza-Palmero, 2016) [1]. This article provides presence records in shapefile format used to generate maps of potential distribution of Aedes aegypti with different climate change scenarios as well as each of the maps obtained in raster format. In addition, tables with values of potential distribution of the vector as well as the average values of probability of presence including data of the mosquito incidence along the altitudinal range.

Geostatistical exploration of dataset assessing the heavy metal contamination in Ewekoro limestone, Southwestern Nigeria

“… For educational purposes, environmental pollution studies especially in the study of heavy metals in fossiliferous limestone. Similar data articles can be found in [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] . Findings can be extended to other metal or non-metal elements not considered in this article.…”

Arbovirus Vectors of Epidemiological Concern in the Americas: A Scoping Review of Entomological Studies on Zika, Dengue and Chikungunya Virus Vectors

“…Seven studies predicted the distribution of arbovirus vectors under conditions of climate change [102–108]. One was conducted in Brazil [102], one in Ecuador [103], one in Mexico [104], one in Argentina [105], one in the United States [108], one in relation to the North American continent [106], and one in relation to the Northern Hemisphere [107]. Fischer et al [105] predicted higher Ae.…”

“…More research on this topic is needed. In terms of population dynamics in general, studies indicate that under conditions of climate change, arboviral vector populations will shift towards the poles, resulting in a reduction of vector burden in regions such as Northern Brazil [102], but an increase in vector population density and corresponding vector-borne disease risk in regions such as Argentina [105] and North America [104,106–108,110,111].…”
