Uncovering mechanisms behind mosquito seasonality by integrating mathematical models and daily empirical population data: Culex pipiens in the UK
Background Many mosquito-borne diseases exhibit substantial seasonality, due to strong
links between environmental variables and vector and pathogen life-cycles. Further, a range …
