Projecting the Potential Distribution of <i>Glossina</i> <i>morsitans</i> (Diptera: Glossinidae) under Climate Change Using the MaxEnt Model

<i>Glossina morsitans</i> is a vector for Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT), which is mainly distributed in sub-Saharan Africa at present. Our objective was to project the historical and future potentially suitable areas globally and explore the influence of climatic factors. The maxim...
