Map of Predicted Temperature Suitability for Virus Transmission by <em>Aedes</em> Species Mosquitoes (IMAGE)
Caption
The map at the left depicts the number of months where there is a greater than 97.5 percent chance of disease transmission by the mosquito Aedes albopictus, based on the model. Map at right depicts Aedes aegypti, the species most likely to transmit the Zika virus. The darker the red, the more months per year that transmission is likely. The areas outlined in black delineate the current ranges of the mosquitoes within the United States.
