<b>Mosquito Species Checklist and Distribution in Haiti and the Dominican Republic (1905–2

62 mosquito species across 13 genera were identified in a systematic review covering 120 years of data from Hispaniola. The dataset, authored by David Roiz, provides an updated checklist and historical distribution maps for the island. It reports 61 species in the Dominican Republic and 50 in Haiti, with 49 species shared between the two countries.

Use Cases

• Targeting entomological surveillance efforts based on reported species distribution.
• Assessing mosquito-borne disease risk based on the presence of key vector species like Anopheles albimanus and Aedes aegypti.
• Designing integrated vector management strategies based on the updated checklist of 62 species.
• Analyzing historical changes in mosquito biodiversity based on data spanning from 1905 to 2024.

Strengths

• Covers 120 years of historical data (1905–2024), providing a long-term perspective.
• Identifies 62 distinct mosquito species and 13 genera, offering a detailed taxonomic inventory.
• Includes geographical differentiation, listing 61 species for the Dominican Republic and 50 for Haiti.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• Data may reflect temporal or research-effort bias inherent to systematic reviews.
