文摘

The studied green roofs had significantly lower vector abundance than controls. Temperature and wind speed were statistically significant microclimatic factors. Strong winds on elevated urban rooftops present adverse conditions for mosquitoes. Temperature affects vector abundance mainly through seasonal variations. Findings call for a better understanding of urban microclimate and vector ecology.
