Culex pipiens distribution in Tunisia: Identification of suitable areas through Random Forest and MaxEnt approaches

“…Suitability increasing as altitudes decreased down to 200 m with altitude having an overall negative effect. In accordance with the present results, elevation above 600 m has already been found to negatively influence the presence of the species in Spain(Alarcón-Elbal et al, 2012;Bravo-Barriga et al, 2017).…”

Updated distribution of Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) in Spain: new findings in the mainland Spanish Levante, 2013

“…Ae. albopictus was first detected in the province of Valencia in 2013, thereby completing the Mediterranean provincial corridor ( Alarcón-Elbal et al 2013 )).
