Distribution of tsetse and ticks in Africa: past, present and future.
The current concern over the effects of global warming has rekindled interest in the neglected topic of vector distribution. In order to predict the future, however, we must first comprehend the past and present. In this review, David Rogers and Sarah Randolph discuss the alternative biological and statistical approaches to understanding the present-day distributions of vectors, and make predictions about how these might change with global warming.
