Seasonal temperature variation influences climate suitability for dengue, chikungunya, and Zika transmission
Table 5
Estimates of epidemic suitability for major cities under different starting temperatures.
Epidemic suitability was calculated as the proportion of the population that became infected in simulations that began at the minimum, mean, or maximum temperature of the seasonal temperature regime. Each city was simulated with its respective temperature regime from the 2016 calendar year with 0% population immunity.
