Microclimatic temperatures increase the potential for vector-borne disease transmission in the Scandinavian climate

Abstract We quantified the difference between the meteorological temperature recorded by the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) weather stations and the actual microclimatic temperatures at two or three different heights at six potential insect habitats. We then compared the impact of the hourly...
