ABSTRACT
Urbanization is causing a significant impact on biodiversity and human health. The increase in vector-borne diseases in recent decades is linked to changes in the environment due to urbanization. We have reviewed published information on urban mosquitoes from around the globe to examine major study trends in terms of urbanization, and the type of arboviruses they vector. Our review showed a surge in research on urban mosquitoes in the past 15 years, with the majority of studies conducted in the Americas and focusing on Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus. However, the findings also highlight a lack of basic monitoring data on mosquito diversity and vector-borne diseases in many countries, which poses a challenge for disease control.
