Global climate-driven transmission suitability maps for dengue virus transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes from 1979 to 2022

08/16/2023: the Index P maps have been updated to Version 2.0*06/08/2023: the Index P maps are currently being updated and will be re-uploaded shortly.This file contains transmission suitability maps for dengue virus (DENV) transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes from 1979 to 2022 for 186 countries or territories. These maps were generated using a mosquito-borne viral suitability measure referred to as Index P. Each file contains the monthly, yearly and typical year summary statistics of the time series of DENV transmission potential of Aedes aegypti at the spatial pixel level (~28km2) for a given country. An excel document that describes the file contents for each country is also provided. Full details are available in an article published at Scientific Data: "Nakase, T., Giovanetti, M., Obolski, U. et al. Global transmission suitability maps for dengue virus transmitted by Aedes aegypti from 1981 to 2019. Sci Data 10, 275 (2023). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-023-02170-7"This dataset can be used to understand past and current climate-driven transmission suitability of DENV for its primary vector Aedes aegypti in an area of interest.*We have added several years to the time series (1979-1980, 2020-2022) and assumed more informative priors for the scaling coefficients to minimize extreme values of Index P noted in the previous version.
