Daniele Da Re developed this open-source tool (running with R) to #model the population dynamics (in time and space) of 4 #mosquito species of #Aedes established in Europe : #Aedesalbopictus, #Aedesaegypti, Aedes japonicus and Aedes koreicus.

#TigerMosquito surveillance data in France have been used to test the model, we are happy to have contribute to the development of this model.
