Dataset for ecological niche modeling (MaxEnt) of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus in NEA

Abstract

This dataset compiles occurrence records and environmental and sociodemographic variables used to model the potential distribution of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus in northeastern Argentina. It integrates species presence data with bioclimatic variables, land cover information, and human-related factors such as population density and accessibility. The dataset was used to develop ecological niche models (MaxEnt) to identify the main drivers shaping the spatial distribution of both species. Results highlight the key role of human factors in determining habitat suitability, particularly for Aedes aegypti. This dataset supports studies on species distribution modeling, vector ecology, and public health risk assessment in subtropical regions.
