Vector presence
GBIF occurrence records for the 7 principal vectors. A count is records, not abundance.
3 of 7 recorded
Aedes aegyptiAedes albopictusAnopheles gambiaeAnopheles funestusAnopheles stephensiCulex pipiensCulex quinquefasciatus
Read this honestly
GBIF is presence-only and effort-biased. A 0 / no record means no occurrence has been digitised for Croatia, not that the species is absent, under-surveyed countries look emptier than they are. Country-level presence is the reliable layer.
Disease burden
WHO Global Health Observatory, latest available reporting year per country.
Malaria
estimated cases per year

not endemic / unreported

Null is not zero
No data means the indicator is not reported or the disease is not endemic, it is never shown as 0. A real reported 0 is kept as 0. WHO GHO carries no global dengue dataset, Aedes-borne risk is proxied by competent-vector presence above, not case counts.
Risk classification
A Mosticare-derived first filter, competent-vector presence within the climatic band.
- Class
- both Aedes (within band)
- Vector richness
- 3 of 7
- Aedes present
- Yes
- Malaria endemic
- No
What this is not
The class combines vector presence with a coarse |latitude| ≤ 45 climatic envelope. It is a first filter for transmission plausibility, not a calibrated environmental-suitability model. Do not read it as measured risk.
Interventions in play
Engineered-intervention research targeting the vectors recorded in Croatia. Global research activity, not trials on this country’s soil.
