Opportunity map for vector activity in Europe considering minimum temperature above 10°C, where the blue zones represent the areas in which Culicoides spp. inability to complete the life cycle (from egg/larvae to adult) according to temperature and the shades of green indicate conditions are favourable for completing the life cycle (from egg/larvae to adult) (expressed in number of days in the month, darker colours indicating longer periods in the month with favourable conditions), black represents regions with no information on temperature for that year
