The role of urbanisation in the spread of Aedes mosquitoes and the diseases they transmit-A systematic review.
Background This systematic review aims to assess how different urbanisation patterns related to rapid urban growth, unplanned expansion, and human population density affect the establishment and distribution of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus and create favourable conditions for the spread of den...
