Climatic suitability for the transmission of dengue by Aedes albopictus in Europe (1951-2021), Apr 2023

This metadata refer to the dataset presenting the annual change in the basic reproduction number (R0) for dengue transmission in the period 1951-2021. The basic reproduction number of dengue from Aedes mosquitos is calculated using a model to capture the influence of temperature and rainfall on mosquito vectorial capacity and mosquito abundance, and overlaying it with human population density data to estimate the R0 (i.e., the expected number of secondary infections resulting from one infected person).

Statement

Accelerated human mobility and increasing climate suitability for arboviral disease transmission are increasing the emergence of arboviral diseases in Europe. In the past 5 years, sporadic autochthonous dengue outbreaks have been reported in Spain and France. Without sufficient preparedness, dengue outbreaks can lead to severe health risks and impact on society.

The indicator uses a mechanistic model to estimate the basic reproduction rate (R0) and length of transmission season for dengue combining information on temperature, rainfall, mosquito abundance, and human population density. Overall, in the period 1986–2020, (R0) has increased by 17·3% in Europe compared with 1951–1985. This pattern is also observed for chikungunya and Zika virus. The greatest upward shift in transmission season is observed in central eastern Europe, with a gain of about 0·2 suitable months for dengue
