TL;DR: This study examined the global potential distributions of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus in relation to climatic variation worldwide to develop ecological niche models that allowed anticipation of possible changes in distributional patterns into the future.

TL;DR: A state-of-knowledge atlas of Mexican triatomines is produced and their geographic associations with T. cruzi, human demographics and landscape modification are analyzed, showing high tolerance to human-modified habitats and broadened historical ranges.

TL;DR: Model the environmental requirements of the principal North and Central American phlebotomine species and analyze three niche characteristics over future climate change scenarios to provide an increased opportunity for the geographic expansion of NCA sand flys' ENM and human exposure to vectors of Leishmaniases.

TL;DR: The most significant climate-related change anticipated in the species' range was with regard to range continuity in the Amazon Basin, which is likely to increase in coming decades.

TL;DR: Genetic evidence supports collection information that A. albopictus was introduced to Mexico principally by land from the USA and Central and South America and its potential future expansion and potential human exposure in climate change scenarios measured.
