Modelling distributions of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus using climate, host density and interspecies competition.

Florida faces the challenge of repeated introduction and autochthonous transmission of arboviruses transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus.Empirically-based predictive models of the spatial distribution of these species would aid surveillance and vector control efforts.To predict the occurrence and abundance of these species, we fit a mix
