  abstract = {{I}nvasive {A}edes aegypti and {A}edes albopictus mosquitoes transmit viruses such as dengue, chikungunya and {Z}ika, posing a huge public health burden as well as having a less well understood economic impact. {W}e present a comprehensive, global-scale synthesis of studies reporting these economic costs, spanning 166 countries and territories over 45 years. {T}he minimum cumulative reported cost estimate expressed in 2022 {US}$ was 94.7 billion, although this figure reflects considerable underreporting and underestimation. {T}he analysis suggests a 14-fold increase in costs, with an average annual expenditure of {US}$ 3.1 billion, and a maximum of {US}$ 20.3 billion in 2013. {D}amage and losses were an order of magnitude higher than investment in management, with only a modest portion allocated to prevention. {E}ffective control measures are urgently needed to safeguard global health and well-being, and to reduce the economic burden on human societies. {T}his study fills a critical gap by addressing the increasing economic costs of {A}edes and {A}edes-borne diseases and offers insights to inform evidence-based policy.},
