OBJECTIVES: in the conterminous United States and Canada with current observed and simulated climate and land-use data using boosted regression trees (BRTs). METHODS: mosquitoes in Canada and the United States under current and future projected climates. RESULTS: . DISCUSSION: -transmitted arboviruses. Increased surveillance for these vectors and the pathogens they carry would be prudent. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP5899.
