This study uses a temperature-dependent dynamical model to analyze how temperature variability affects Zika virus transmission, finding that temperature is the dominant driver of epidemic dynamics.

The paper estimates the thermal performance of Zika virus in Aedes aegypti and updates a temperature-dependent model to show that Zika transmission is optimized at 29°C with a thermal range of 22.7–34.7°C.

This study examines how varying ZIKV viremia levels affect mosquito infection, infectiousness, and R0, finding increased infection and infectiousness with higher doses but no effect on dissemination or mortality.
