Utility of mosquito surveillance data for spatial prioritization of vector control against dengue viruses in three Brazilian cities

Abstract Background Vector control remains the primary defense against dengue fever. Its success relies on the assumption that vector density is related to disease transmission. Two operational issues include the amount by which mosquito density should be reduced to minimize transmission and the spa...
