Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 2429-2445, July 2021., 2021 Abstract Vectors of emerging infectious diseases have expanded their distributional ranges in recent decades due to increased global travel, trade connectivity and climate change. Transboundary range shifts, arising from the continuous movement of humans and livestock across borders, are of particular disease control concern.
