Mosquito Suitability Map(s)

In searching for the Kraemer maps cited in The Economist article, I discovered a different article with a very similar map, published in eLife.  The article is on "Mapping global environmental suitability for Zika virus," by Messina et al. (2016).

Shown below is the map that the article exhibits.  The article does cite the methodology as similar to Kraemer, et al., including:

Kraemer, M. U., S. I. Hay, D. M. Pigott, D. L. Smith, G. R. Wint & N. Golding (2016) Progress and
challenges in infectious disease cartography. Trends Parasitol, 32, 19-29.

Kraemer, M. U., M. E. Sinka, K. A. Duda, A. Q. Mylne, F. M. Shearer, C. M. Barker, C. G. Moore, R.G. Carvalho, G. E. Coelho, W. Van Bortel, G. Hendrickx, F. Schaffner, I. R. Elyazar, H. J.
