TL;DR: Summary of the dataobtained from the literature provides information about the diffe-rent experimental studies, including studymaterial used and methodological details, and the duration until the first observed transmission or infection of SG at a giventemperature is given.

TL;DR: European areas with current and future climatic suitability of Chikungunya transmission are identified and the highest risk of transmission by the end of the 21st century was projected for France, Northern Italy and the Pannonian Basin (East-Central Europe).

TL;DR: It is concluded that spatial characteristics such as introduction gateways and dispersal pathways need to be considered in the climatic suitability of the Asian tiger mosquito and laboratory experiments addressing the climatics constraints of the mosquito are required for improved modelling results.

TL;DR: The current state-of-the-art in both mechanistic and correlative disease modelling, the data driving these models, the vectors and diseases covered, and climate models applied to assess future risk are reviewed.

TL;DR: The models presented here can be used to inform public health preparedness planning in a highly interconnected world and suggest the likelihood of expansion of transmission-suitable areas in many parts of the world, including China, sub-Saharan Africa, South America, the United States and continental Europe.
