An analysis of temperatures, vectorial capacity and other factors like air traveller flows suggests parts of Southern Europe would be vulnerable to Zika outbreaks between June and August.
?We know warm climates create the kind of conditions suitable for mosquito-borne illnesses to spread,? said study co-author Joacim Rocklov of the Umea University in Sweden.
?The presence of established Aedes mosquito populations, the warmer climate and the coinciding peak flow of air travellers into Europe, is a triage making Southern Europe fertile ground for Zika,? Rocklov added.
Rocklov?s team used a temperature dependent computer model to predict Zika virus infection risks for Europe.
