Change Allocation in Spatially-Explicitly Models for Aedes Aegypti Population Dynamics
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work proposes a new approach to couple Aedes aegypti population dynamic models with local scale spatially-explicit computational models for the Geographical Space. A geographic database was developed for a neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, RJ, and used to estimate the spatial pattern of mosquito infestation to estimate areas of epidemic risk.

Dengue is a vector-borne disease caused by dengue virus. According to the recent report of CDC that one-third population of the world are at high risk with Dengue fever. The prevalence of the dengue hemorrhagic fever was found more in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. Aedes mosquitoes was reported as the main cause of transmission of dengue virus. So the current study was planned ...
متن کاملRole of Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) and Aedes albopictus (Skuse) in local dengue epidemics in Taiwan
BACKGROUND Aedes mosquitoes in Taiwan mainly comprise Aedes albopictus and Ae. aegypti. However, the species contributing to autochthonous dengue spread and the extent at which it occurs remain unclear. Thus, in this study, we spatially analyzed real data to determine spatial features related to local dengue incidence and mosquito density, particularly that of Ae. albopictus and Ae. aegypti. ...

Aedes aegypti is the main vector for dengue and urban yellow fever. It is extended around the world not only in the tropical regions but also beyond them, reaching temperate climates. Because of its importance as a vector of deadly diseases, the significance of its distribution in urban areas and the possibility of breeding in laboratory facilities, Aedes aegypti is one of the best-known mosqui...
متن کاملComparison of Two Detailed Models of Aedes aegypti Population Dynamics.
The success of control programs for mosquito borne diseases can be enhanced by crucial information provided by models of the mosquito populations. Models, however, can differ in their structure, complexity and biological assumptions, and these differences impact their predictions. Unfortunately, it is typically difficult to determine why two complex models make different predictions because we ...
متن کاملGIS Derived Spatial Constraints for Agent-based Modeling of Aedes Aegypti Population Dynamics
The Aedes aegypti mosquito is responsible for the spread of several arboviruses including Dengue, Chikungunya, Yellow Fever and more recently the Zika virus. Accurate modeling of the population dynamics of this disease vector within its habitat allows us to understand conditions necessary for Aedes aegypti populations to thrive. Using agent-based modeling, model developers can provide public he...
