Effects of climate and different management strategies on <i>Aedes aegypti</i> breeding sites: a longitudinal survey in Brasília (DF, Brazil)

Abstract

In a moderately infested area such as Brasilia, insecticides do not improve environmental vector control. Rather, infestations could be further reduced by focusing on residences and containers particularly at risk. The nature of the link between climate and larval population should be investigated in larger-scale studies before being used in forecasting models.
