ALBOMAURICE: A predictive model for mapping Aedes albopictus mosquito populations in Mauritius

The ALBOMAURICE software runs a mosquito population dynamics model to predict the temporal and spatial abundance of Aedes albopictus, dengue disease vector in Mauritius. For each surveillance zone, it solves system ordinary differential equations describing different stages life cycle. uses daily rainfall temperature input data produce maps used operationally by health services for targeting areas where apply control measures. Model simulations were validated against entomological acquired weekly during year at nine locations. Different options can also be simulated their effects compared.
