This paper reviews the current evidence regarding the transmissibility, disease epidemiology, control strategies and mosquito-borne disease drivers and maintaining factors in Spain. There is risk of autochthonous cases and outbreaks in Spain due to recent transmission occurrence. Recently, there has been an expansion of&nbsp;<em>Aedes Albopticus</em>, a vector for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/dengue-fever">Dengue</a>, Zika and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/chikungunya">Chikungunya</a>; and&nbsp;<em>Cullex</em>&nbsp;spp., vector for West Nile Virus, already endemic in Spain. Their establishment has been facilitated by climate and environmental drivers. If climate change projections are to be met, an increase in disease transmission is to be expected, as well as the re-establishment of other vectors such as&nbsp;<em>Aedes Aegypti</em>. Our review supports the need to understand the threat of these emerging diseases and implement preventive strategies in order to minimise their impact.</p>
