Seasonal profiles of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) larval habitats in an urban area of Costa Rica with a history of mosquito control
(2008-06-01)
Dengue is the most important arboviral disease worldwide and the principal vector-borne disease in Costa
Rica. Control of Aedes aegypti populations through source reduction is still considered the most effective way of ...
Dengue vector (Aedes aegypti) larval habitats in an urban environment of Costa Rica analysed with ASTER and QuickBird imagery
(2010-01-13)
Dengue fever is transmitted mainly by the mosquito species
Aedes aegypti
, which
breeds in water-filled containers in tropical urban areas. In this study medium- and
high-resolution satellite (ASTER and QuickBird) ...
Associations between urban structure and Aedes aegypti larval habitats in Puntarenas, Costa Rica
(2008-12)
Geospatial technologies have been increasingly applied to study vector-borne diseases, although their use in urban setting has been limited. In this study, high-resolution satellite imagery from QuickBird was analyzed to ...
A geographical sampling method for surveys of mosquito larvae in an urban area using high-resolution satellite imagery
(2008-06-01)
Entomological surveys in urban areas are often biased by selecting houses or locations with known high vector densities. A sampling strategy was developed for Puntarenas, Costa Rica, using high-resolution satellite imagery. ...
A geographical sampling strategy for field surveys in an urban area using high-resolution satellite imagery
(2006-11)
Field evaluations for studying the epidemiology of vector-borne diseases like dengue in urban areas are often restricted to selection of households and buildings for field surveys. Therefore, the resulting sampling frame ...
Urban structure and dengue incidence in Puntarenas, Costa Rica
(2009-07-15)
Dengue is currently the most important arboviral disease globally and is usually associated with built environments in tropical areas. Remotely sensed information can facilitate the study of urban mosquito-borne diseases ...
Mapping the risk of Aedes aegypti larval habitats using tree cover in Puntarenas, Costa Rica
(2010-08)
Tree cover and other characteristics of urban structure have been associated in urban environments with abundance and productivity of Aedes aegypti and other mosquito larval habitats. Tree cover can conceal containers, ...
Evaluation of predictive maps for Aedes aegypti larval habitats in two urban areas of Costa Rica
(2011-12)
The abundance of Aedes aegypti can be associated with urban structure and tree cover, which conceals and protects containers. The purpose of this study was to create and evaluate predictive maps for Ae. Aegypti larval ...
