The effective reproduction number, R t, is a measure of transmission that can be calculated
from standard incidence data to timely detect the beginning of epidemics. It has being …

Diseases transmitted by mosquitoes could be controlled if vector populations were replaced
with strains that have reduced vector competency. Such a strategy is being developed for …

Objective To determine the influence of climate and of environmental vector control with or
without insecticide on Aedes aegypti larval indices and pupae density. Methods An 18 …

Background Argentina is located at the southern temperate range of arboviral transmission
by the mosquito Aedes aegypti and has experienced a rapid increase in disease …

Introducción. Aedes aegypti es el vector del dengue en Colombia y su presencia se puede
estimar mediante el conteo de pupas. Objetivo. Determinar la productividad de Ae. aegypti …

Impact of small variations in temperature and humidity on the reproductive activity and
survival of Aedes aegypti (Diptera, Culicidae). In short space of time increase in temperature …

Early detection of a dengue outbreak is an important first step towards implementing
effective dengue interventions resulting in reduced mortality and morbidity. A dengue …

In temperate regions, populations of Aedes aegypti survive the cold season in the egg stage.
In the present work, we studied the cold‐season mortality of Ae. aegypti eggs and their …

Here, we present and discuss a compartmental stochastic model for Aedes aegypti
conceived as a mathematical structure able to interpolate and extrapolate (predict) …
