Estimating Aedes aegypti Mosquito Infestation

The vector infestation of the A. aegypti mosquito was estimated from the Building Infestation Index (BII), which assesses the risk situation of arbovirus transmission by measuring the population level of the vector when calculating the percentage of properties with the presence of larvae of this Culicidae within the total number of surveyed properties²⁴. The calculation is performed using the Rapid Index Survey for A. aegypti (Levantamento Rápido de Índices para A. aegypti – LIRAa) and the BII is classified as: satisfactory (<1%), alert (1–3.9%), and at risk (>3.9%)²⁴. These data were provided by the Environmental Surveillance of 1^st GERES/SES-PE.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
