Description of the data and file structure

There are two data sets used in the validation of the suitability index. The BG trap female count data (BG_count_data_albopictus.csv) and the presence absence data (PA_Oct_2023_albopictus.csv) for Aedes albopictus. Presence-absence data spans the entire invasion process of Aedes albopictus in Spain from 2004 up to October 2023. Data from 2004 to 2014 originated from authoritative surveillance at the municipal level, mostly conducted through oviposition and adult traps. From 2014 to 2022, the data combined these authoritative methods with successful citizen science methodologies oriented towards surveillance (see daily updated maps in Europe at: \url{https://map.mosquitoalert.com/spa/distribution/en}). Spatially, the validation involved \textit{Ae. albopictus} presence-absence presence data at the municipal level in five administrative regions of Spain (Andalusia, Aragon, Catalonia, Valencian Community, Basque Country). Also, at the European scale we use presence-absence data for October 2023 from the Mosquito Alert citizen science platform. It combines data from the ECDC agency and citizen science data. Presence-absence data at the European scale corresponds to administrative units at the NUTS 3 level, roughly matching the province level (albopictus_PA_EU.zip). Spanish municipalities, which are at a smaller scale than NUTS 3, provide presence-absence data at a finer resolution. Therefore we have two data sets with presence-absence, one for Europe and one for Spain with finer resolution. The mosquito trap count data originated from a total of 13 BG-Sentinel traps distributed across various municipalities in the NE Spain (Catalonia region) with the following numbers: Blanes (11), Lloret de Mar (1), Palafolls (1), Tordera (1). The traps operated from November 2020 until December 2022 for Blanes, from September 2020 until December 2022 for Palafolls, from May 2020 until December 2022 for Todera, from June 2020 until November 2020 for Lloret de Mar, and mosquito samples were collected every week.

Structure of the data explanation of each column of the tabular data: 

• BG_count_data_albopictus.csv
  • trap_name: name of the trap
  • province: spanish province where the trap is located
  • city: spanish city where the trap is located
  • start_date: date of placing the trap
  • end_date: date of recolection of the trap
  • trapping_effort: end_date-start_date
  • latitude: latitude of the trap’s location
  • longitude: longitude of the trap’s location
  • trap_type: type of the adult trap
  • females: number of females mosquitoes found in the trap during the start_date to end date_period
  • precipitation (mm): precipitation for the start_date
  • l7precipitation: accumulated precipiation during 7 days from the start_date
  • l14precipitation: accumulated precipiation during 14 days from the start_date
  • l21precipitation: accumulated precipiation during 21 days from the start_date
  • mean_temperature (degree C): mean temperature of the week from the start_date

  • albopictus: state of the *Aedes albopictus *in each region. There are 7 posible cases:
    • absent: there is mosquito surveillance but the species has not been found in this region
    • noData: there is no mosquito surveillance in this region
    • PA: detected (1) - non detected (0) Aedes albopictus in this European region
