Review 2: "Climate Warming and Urbanization May Expand Dengue Transmission Risk in California"

This manuscript presents a comprehensive and policy-relevant modeling framework to assess dengue transmission risk in a non-endemic setting.The authors integrate vector presence, temperature-dependent transmission suitability, and travel-associated viral introductions to construct spatially and temporally explicit risk maps for California under current and future climate and land-use scenarios.The study is well motivated, methodologically rigorous, and grounded in high-quality data sources. Major strengths:Major concerns and suggestions:Strong.The main study claims are very well-justified by the data and analytic methods used.There is little room for doubt that the study produced has very similar results and conclusions as compared with the hypothetical ideal study.The study's main claims should be considered conclusive and actionable without reservation.
