Table 3. Predicted optima for transmission of West Nile virus.
Predicted optima for transmission from this study and previous models. A version of this table (with R0 models for additional viruses and including thermal limits) was published in Mordecai et al., 2019 (as Table 3 in that paper).
| R0 Model | Optimum (°C) |

| From this study: | |
| WNV in Cx. pipiens | 24.5 |
| WNV in Cx. quinquefasciatus | 25.2 |
| WNV in Cx. tarsalis | 23.9 |
| WNV in Cx. univittatus | 23.8 |
| From previous studies: | |
| WNV in Cx. pipiens (Paull et al., 2017) | 24.9 |
| WNV in Cx. quinquefasciatus (Paull et al., 2017) | 24.3 |
| WNV in Cx. tarsalis (Paull et al., 2017) | 24.9 |
| WNV in Cx. pipiens (Vogels et al., 2017) | 28 |
| WNV in Cx. pipiens molestus (Vogels et al., 2017) | 28 |
| WNV in Cx. and Ae. spp. (Kushmaro et al., 2015) | 35 |
