چکیده    Background: west nile virus (wnv) is an emerging global health threat. transmission risk is strongly related to the abundance of mosquito vectors,typically culex pipiens in europe. early-warning predictors of mosquito population dynamics would therefore help guide entomological surveillance and thereby facilitate early warnings of transmission risk. methods. we analysed an 11-year time series (2001 to 2011) of cx. pipiens mosquito captures from the piedmont region of north-western italy to determine the principal drivers of mosquito population dynamics. linear mixed models were implemented to examine the relationship between cx. pipiens population dynamics and environmental predictors including temperature,precipitation,normalized difference water index (ndwi) and the proximity of mosquito traps to urban areas and rice fields. results: warm temperatures early in the year were associated with an earlier start to the mosquito season and increased season length,and later in the year,with decreased abundance. early precipitation delayed the start and shortened the length of the mosquito season,but increased total abundance. conversely,precipitation later in the year was associated with a longer season. finally,higher ndwi early in the year was associated with an earlier start to the season and increased season length,but was not associated with abundance. proximity to rice fields predicted higher total abundance when included in some models,but was not a significant predictor of phenology. proximity to urban areas was not a significant predictor in any of our models. predicted variations in start of the season and season length ranged from one to three weeks,across the measured range of variables. predicted mosquito abundance was highly variable,with numbers in excess of 1000 per trap per year when late season temperatures were low (average 21°c) to only 150 when late season temperatures were high (average 30°c). conclusions: climate data collected early in the year,in conjunction with local land use,can be used to provide early warning of both the timing and magnitude of mosquito outbreaks. this potentially allows targeted mosquito control measures to be implemented,with implications for prevention and control of west nile virus and other mosquito borne diseases. © 2014 rosà et al.; licensee biomed central ltd.
